Pros

Facilities are nice, food is okay, good number of events for destressing (which is telling given how stressful it is)

Cons

Does not care if you do a good job as long as they can save a buck. I've done, arguably, great work at what my job description is. All of a sudden management says I'm the worst on the team. Had another co worker who got pushed out and they tried to hire for the same job, but with lower pay, it didn't work. Now I'm being pushed out and have a hunch the same will happen. Also noticed a number of reviews saying they have poor regulation compliance, this is true. DO NOT put any of their printed products in your mouth.

Pros

Great products (Invisalign and iTero) that were years ahead of the competition until recently. Prior to 2014, Align had a fantastic culture with an entrepreneurial spirit throughout the company. Prior to 2015, B&C and RSUs were great for top performers in sales and marketing.

Cons

Upper and Middle management no longer value true orthodontic sales professionals who were the backbone of Align's growth for its first two decades. The sales culture has turned into a micromanaged, CYA, toxic environment. Raising valid concerns and not drinking 100% of the Koolaid are the two fastest ways to get blacklisted. The tenured, skilled reps are being pushed out and are being replaced with recent college grads who they can pay less. Only a handful of us managers and reps remain with more than 10 years experience at Align, a vast majority of Sales now has less than 5 years tenure. While customers have always loved the products, they hate doing business with Align. Align's arrogance and self-serving tactics over the years are well known amongst orthodontists and dentists. Now that there are true competitors with viable products in the marketplace, Align's relationship with the industry and lack of innovation for orthodontic specialists is driving business to the competition. Invisalign's premium pricing is a significant issue that is exacerbating the issue. The definition of a boys' club with an "above the law" mentality. A historically sexist environment where male chauvinistic management always seems to be promoted.
