Pros

not bad medical insurance sometimes you can get stocks of the company and sell them

Cons

- Company scales horizontally, quality is not needed here. - A lot of "lay workers" work here, lazy people. They do not know how to program, also do not want to do anything. That's why there a lot of crazy legacy code. Many projects have outdated libraries. - Many managers and technical directors doesn't want to do anything but grabbing money. Some of them do not have technical education at all (the do not understand anything what is happing in their projects), the rest of them are young girls who do not know about programming also. - Since there is high staff turnover in the company, many projects are trash. The code becomes unsupportable since some strange man has written the code and then moved to another team/resign from the company. - Low salary (it's lower than average market salary) - A lot of problems are not being solved since people are only discussing the problems, but not solving them, E.g, the problem have been being discussed for a year, but no solution has been suggested, people only complain and do not solve the problem. - There is a cartel in the company and better technical solutions are discarded since that cartel defends certain men. You can do much better (improve performance or create much more convenient solution) solution but it will be rejected since the project will be not supported and the people from the cartel will loose job.

Pros

Smart and nice co-workers. Okay pay. Company is growing. Decent location and office space.

Cons

Company/management doesn't care much about the employees. The work hours are long, quantity is more important than quality. Management - many of them are micro-managing and are putting a lot of pressure and an unreasonable workload on their employees under the "accountability" umbrella. Some of them have rather poor people management skills. The JJ folks have each other's back but that's it. The reality of working at Align is different than what is advertised during the interviewing process.
