Pros

Align is a fast-growing company, which leads to a fun and dynamic work environment. Decisions are made quickly, which create high levels of employee engagement. The company also does a good job of giving decision ownership to employees. Align holds several events/initiatives to create a fun work environment - work hard, play hard. Onsite benefits include a cafeteria, ping pong table, fresh brewed coffee, free soft drinks and snacks, and welcoming open spaces for employees to get away from their desks. Monthly raffles enable employees to win free tickets to events at PNC Arena, such as Carolina Hurricanes tickets, NCSU basketball tickets, concerts, and other events. Lastly, Align is focused on hiring a diverse workforce and encourages focus on employees' work/life balance.

Cons

Such a rapid growing company may not be suited for some individuals who are used to working for companies with longer histories. Align is beginning to realize its need to focus on strengthening infrastructure for long-term market stability.

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).
