Great Place - Senior Software Engineer Health Catalyst Employee Review

I really appreciate your feedback, and am happy to hear of the positives your are experiencing as a senior software engineer. Your role is so critical to the company's future success, so it is heartening to hear your experience has been positive. Thanks for the feedback on the healthcare plan. I'm hoping that I can share some good news in that regard, which is related to the company's contributions to your HSA. The company contributes $1,000 into your HSA plan at the beginning of each year (for team member + family member plans), without you needing to match, and then will match your contributions per pay period up to a company contribution total of $3,400 per year to your HSA. And that HSA money is yours to utilize for co-pays and other healthcare-related expenses. So if you were to have taken advantage of the company matches, you would have contributed $2,400, and the company contributed $3,400 for a total of $5,800 in your HSA. You could use that $5,800 to cover the co-pay of $3,600 in the scenario you highlighted, when your baby arrived, and you'd still have $2,200 in your HSA account, which rolls over and stays with you permanently. So in a sense, you would have expended $200 of the $2,400 you contributed to your HSA, and the company's contributions would have covered the rest of the co-pay. I hope this is the case, and that is certainly our intent in providing that combined health insurance + HSA contribution benefit. I would encourage you to check in with Linda Llewelyn, our Chief People Officer, to confirm you're receiving all the positives of our health plan benefits package. And, if I'm missing something, I'd like to better understand it, and wonder if you might feel comfortable setting up some time 1:1 with me to help me better understand. We absolutely want our benefits to be a positive differentiator for our team members, so if we've missed something and need to improve, we'll take action. Finally, regarding the limited career path outside of management, this is an area of focus for us, and I believe we will be making progress in this regard, to stretch the positive career path for individual contributors to longer than a five year time horizon -- perhaps more like a 10-year horizon. I would also invite you to think about management as a potential career option -- management has its downsides, and isn't for everyone, but it does afford the opportunity to leverage your skills to the benefit of a larger team, which can mean there is greater impact and contribution, through the effectiveness of the team. Thank you for choosing to join us, and for contributing to our success as a company. I'm grateful for your contributions to our mission. Best, Dan
