Pluspunten

Great benefits (stock, health care, etc), work-life balance is achievable if you have a great manager and a great team, and stable with a lot of growth internationally.

Minpunten

If you are looking for a "move fast break thing embracing positive changes" type of culture like Google, Facebook, or other tech companies in the Bay Area - this is not Align. Align is doing amazing products, but the company culture is in the toilet. There's not really any culture whatsoever and upper management doesn't really care about their people. A lot of inefficient processes everywhere in the company and employees are always playing firefighters. Very old school management from upper management to HR. You can't feel that they really care about their employees at all, they focus more on expansion, revenue, and defeating the competitors. There are so many other awesome companies in Silicon Valley and Align must have a hard time attracting talents because our culture never stands out.

Pluspunten

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).

Minpunten

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).
