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.

Pros

You and dependents get clear aligners for free. Okay, I can't think of anything else. Actually, the people you work with are nice. And, we started getting bananas and apples. If you don't have a job, it's a fantastic place to be. But if you have options, make sure you know what you're getting into.

Cons

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.

Pros

Fast growing, nice supervisor, nice working environment, more opportunities. bright industrial future.

Cons

A company growing to fast can not avoid. you need to response very fast to keep pace with the growth. Then you have to one hundred percent focus.
