The office location: it's really annoying to sit for half an hour on a stop sign.
One of the most expensive areas in the Greater Raleigh area.
There is no personal space at all. We are growing so fast we're about to start sharing desks.
The office has so many issue, I almost forgot, the internet connection reminded me of 1980s dial-up speed. Also, your desktop is way less powerful than what your need. Your laptop is good for Office tools and small toy projects.
I worked for much smaller and much bigger organizations in Raleigh. Align's perks are lacking: No perk, none by 2016 standards. If that's important to you, ask about the details, quality and frequency, when a 'breakfast' or 'party' or 'coffee' claims are made.
If english is your only language, be prepared to be hearing conversations you don't understand, all the time.
Health insurance benefits just got much less attractive, "to match the average" ones in the market and such as much.
There is not work-from-home policy; if you don't have a very good reason, you better be at the office.
The future of the R&D division in Raleigh is not clear. If stability is what you're after, beware.
