Pluspunten

- Pay is decent. ESPP has been a great benefit with the rise in stock price - Flexible work hours and work from home policy. The office location is very convenient if you are in San Jose or Santa Clara. - Best product with market dominance in the clear aligner space

Minpunten

- Company culture (at least in the San Jose HQ) is lacking. Little emphasis on community or team building. The traditional employee pastime is complaining about work/the company. - For a large tech company, systems and processes are SO dysfunctional, you will wonder how the company has remained in business for 20 years. There are virtually no onboarding processes or support for employees when it comes to very basic internal processes like paying invoices, accessing electronic approvals for contracts, etc. - The company now global with 10,000+ employees still operates like a "Start up" for all the wrong reasons, i.e. poor direction, lack of any foundational administrative support for basic business functions, etc. No matter your position you will be bogged down by tedious tasks and hurdles to complete the simplest of job functions.

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).
