The best company I've ever worked for - Analytics Engineer Health Catalyst Employee Review

The team-member experience at Health Catalyst is very good. I find myself constantly surrounded by very smart people who care about the work they do, whether they are employees or clients. A good work-life balance is encouraged, and self-care is often emphasized. Employees can work from anywhere and are not required to regularly come into the office. I believe that the C-suite genuinely cares about the staff, and by-and-large know what it takes to make the organization thrive. During COVID the company made significant efforts to not lay-off employees, including reducing some executive’s pay and allowing employees to take unpaid sabbaticals. I find the pay and benefits to be generous, overall. My base salary is about what I would expect for my role - perhaps even above average - and the benefits are very good. • Health insurance is only a couple of dollars out-of-pocket each month if you complete the quarterly wellness challenges, and the coverage is good in my experience. • They provide a number of novel health benefits such as free therapy/crisis management, Headspace memberships, Sword physical therapy, and Livongo diabetes management. • If you have an HSA, they will give you $500 at the beginning of the year, and match $100 per month in contributions. • The retirement plan (run by Empower Retirement) has a decent selection of funds and relatively low fees for a 401k provider. I believe we currently pay a 0.23% asset-based charge, which is low in my research. • The 401k match is 100% up to 3%. This was recently lowered from 100% up to 6%. I am disappointed in what amounts to a pay cut, but I think this is about average. I know many companies do things like a 50% match up to 3%, so I feel as though HC is competitive. • There is a $10k/year education allowance that can be used for degree programs, training, travel to industry conferences, books and other materials. • There is an employee stock purchase program which allows you to purchase up to 15% of your base salary in HCAT stock, every six months, at a 15% discount. I would encourage people to look up the advantages of an ESPP. • The company provides gym, phone, and home internet allowances. These come out to be just under $2k for me each year. • There is a $1000 dollar lifetime home office allowance, which you can then keep. • The office environment was always very good before COVID with free snacks and a gym. We will be moving into a newer, better workspace this June.
