Worst Culture I have Ever Worked In

Pros

Compensation and that is frankly about it

Cons

Highly depends upon your department. The one I was a part of was highly immature and full of gossip. There was an unlimited amount of politics at play, slacking off, rumor spreading, and poor treatment of teammates. I will say that it was the worst experience I have ever had, at any employer, in my entire career. It was not the startup that it used to be, and management (Mangers and above to Sr. Directors) is highly underqualified for their positions and are more absorbed with playing political games, and with themselves. They are, in no way shape or form, equipped to handle the end of patents (which has recently happened) to clear aligners which generate a large influx of revenue to Align for years, and compete with rising competition. Avoid, don't get distracted by the salary like I did, and find better employment.

Pros

Fair pay, nice offices, fun events, work/life balance possible if you learn to set boundaries.

Cons

Management is horribly disorganized. Processes are poorly documented or not documented at all, and almost never followed, which causes endless problems in an FDA regulated industry. This leads to a perpetual panic mode where engineers are forced to rush out fixes instead of write quality software. There are interesting problems to solve here but you'll be too busy putting out yet another fire to ever work on them. Stinginess with hiring budget has only made this worse; subject matter experts are often forced into mundane work beneath their ability because management won't hire a proper DevOps team to automate things that should be.
