Pros

I really enjoy the day to day work at Align. It’s exciting, fast-paced, and innovative. The company is overall headed in a good direction.

Cons

The work environment quickly becomes toxic with every project needing to be “priority level 1” all while having an expectation of never saying no, and going above and beyond without being rewarded for it. There is a culture of bullying that goes on from Sales Leadership and AE Leadership to the regional / field teams. It’s unhealthy and challenging to work with.

Worst environment I’ve ever worked

Pros

Paid well and flexible schedule

Cons

Terrible medical benefits, toxic and hostile work environment. Unrealistic workload and expectations. Everyone in my department lived in fear they’d be the next target. Little to NO communication, never knew what was going on, even with big management changes.

“Life” at Align

Pros

- Ortho benefits + product, Invisalign, are great - Half days before a long weekend are pretty cool - “No layoffs” during Covid, wink wink

Cons

- Traumatized doesn’t begin to cover it . The gaslighting, the bullying, the harassment of all varieties, lack of boundaries/work-life balance destroyed - Politics, politics, politics. If you can smile and say “yes”, you can get far but “pucker up” if you know what I mean - ALL these positive, recent reviews have 1 thing in common: full time employees tenured less than a year. Coincidence? - Pay in general is below industry avg - No layoffs during Covid was a curse cause “be happy you have a job” was used against many of us - You’re expected to be accessible 24/7 - Someone else touched on it but MAJOR disconnect between management and workers. YUGE. - Interdepartmental strategy? I don’t know her - Watch your back and the company you keep, it can and will be used against you - Unless you’re in Sales, be prepared to be treated as a second class citizen - Anticipate wearing a lot of hats if you are competent, if you’re smart and establish that you live by the values of agility and accountability, congratulations you played yourself. Celebrate with a ton of work and no recognition or appreciation - HR is a joke - Harassment is real but see above bullet, HR is NOT your ally - Promises to promote from within are largely unfulfilled so theyre hemorrhaging talent - Dont expect anyone to “celebrate” your next chapter if you leave. You’ll receive a cold af reception. Bet
