Pros

This company is very sensitive about its employees and considers them to be a very important building block for their future. Seems like Align Technology is just getting started, I think in the future it will truly become the best dental device company in the world. The Global leadership is very experienced and balanced and will take this company safely and progressively into the future. Personally, I feel for people who are fully invested this is a great place to grow and learn.

Cons

It is a fast paced environment, so not fully suitable for employees who are used to very large companies where things move slow. This is a con in terms of attracting talent which can see this being sustainable, but is a pro for the business. The company can sometimes seem too reactive and focused on short term, but given the experience of the leadership hope that is not the case.

Pros

It used to be a good company who made a premium product, with smart coworkers, interesting tasks that involved a lot of math problems, with detailed code reviews. It still has generous PTO, sick days and a discounted lunch (in Raleigh office).

Cons

Management changed and there is an ongoing optimisation with hidden layoffs / force quits with no severance. Biased performance reviews with high expectations. Frequent goal changes and useless projects that will eventually be terminated and the whole team will be shuffled or dismissed. Complete delivery mess. Left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Knowledge transfer sucks. The only way to understand the feature is to dig into the code (bad for newbies). New unqualified and arrogant low-level managers and team-leads, hide their uselessness on endless meetings, blah-blah-blahing with no real impact just to add visibility. A lot of stress, 5 days from office in an open space with no remote option even for new parents. The base is low with no stocks. Pro-Russian company, previously based in Moscow, relocated the whole office to the US and Europe due to sanctions during Russian-Ukrainian war (they recently laid-off a few Ukrainian guys).
