Align Technology reviews

-- Ideas that come from you mean nothing when the ideas that come from managers go other direction; -- Projects you do can be stopped or transferred to other people; -- Results you produce get filtered by people whose position in the company depends on them; -- Career development is totally under manager's control: they decide what role you will take; strange and unclear promotion policy: some people gets promotion unreportedly, some are reported; -- Older developers keep the same role for years, without any promotion; -- Most alarming to me is that the marketing and market promotion strategies for the product seem to be delivering a perfect positive message to customers, while the side-effects and failures to improve the product are strictly confidential among a narrow circle of manager/clinical guys who do not uncover them since that will ruin the perfect picture and their careers in particular; not sure how doctors treat Align, but I suspect the smart ones know it can be tricky and dangerous.

Bad training. Disorganized company. Inconsistent comission structure payout. Some bad seeds in leadership positions. No work life balance. Doesn't welcome knew ideas or out of box thinking. Poor culture. Poor reputation amongst doctors. Subpar benefits compared other medical device companies. Very poor diversity and inclusion.
