Pros

Potentially exciting company to work for with the mindset of a startup, even after 25 years.

Cons

Management doesn't know how to manage the downturn in volume so they deploy massive layoffs each year to try and make their meager 2-3% increase. In addition, due to the layoffs, they operate with a headcount deficiency meaning that all other employees are expected to work extra to make up for the lack of personnel.

Return to office

Pros

Product innovation Good people (the ones actually doing the work)

Cons

Return to office 5 days. A huge mistake. The office morale is at an all time low and seems like everyone has one foot out the door. There is no benefit to agility or collaboration when 90% of your meetings are virtual. Doesn’t help that there are still a ton of remote senior leaders which clearly have exceptions. Believe it or not we do work on the days we work from home

Pros

Compensation, benefits, advanced technology in industry, innovation

Cons

Overall, my experience at Align had plenty of positives. The downside of working at Align outweigh the positives. My advice is to do your research and speak to as many RM/TM's as possible about their experience and don't be afraid to ask difficult questions to get their honest feedback. Upper management: (ASD/Directors) little transparency and constant fire drills, priorities are changing by the day, low trust and sneaky behaviors. Middle Management: The amount of responsibilities the RM's have.....they are basically running the entire business with very little to no internal support unless you are favored by upper management. No management training to help with the changing needs of the employees. Forced to figure it on your own and if you don't do it their way, consider your career at Align to be even more challenging. HR: not to be trusted and unethical on so many levels, not considered a resource for anything. Changes need to be made here as HR sets the tone of how the organization handles important issues Work-Life Balance: non existent, especially in middle management, so much workload, reports, quarterly business reviews, internal customers meetings (and the list goes on and more is piled on).
