Pros

Fast growing company work can be challenging so exciting. If you are lucky you may have good colleagues which would make going to work a bit more bearable. Depending on your role it can be an exciting field if you don’t mind long working hours

Cons

Terrible work culture and unmotivating work environment Compensation not that great they know how to hire good people but don’t know how to utilize their resources Everyone is just working like a machine Non collaborative Long working hours doing mundane work Managers here do not know how to manage don’t rely on them to inspire or groom or mentor you Work culture can be very biased and unfair

Pros

You can pretty much contact anyone in the company and they'll at least humor your questions. The company is good at innovating so every year you have new products/features to market

Cons

Bogged down by legal/regulatory fears. They're so afraid of litigation, they end up with the worse marketing copy and least aggressive promotions, while competitors use expired Aligner patents and undercut Invisalign AND break regulatory rules. Yet Align does nothing. The company trots out way too many so called innovations at random times throughout the year, many products overlap in features, so you're constantly training markets on new products for the sake of it. No one is asking if these products are even necessary. MUCH of the senior leadership team don't know what they're doing. They claim to be tech savvy but most can't even work out how to download a testing app. Instead it's just a political hot bed with every department trying to pretend they've done more work. Much of their resources is spent wining and dining doctors but not really figuring out how to get consumers to demand Invisalign. Shifted back from 3 day office hybrid to 5 day work week with little to no warning after 5 years of hybrid work. All in the name of "collaboration". The hilarious thing is most of all of our calls are conducted virtually despite this. Handled restructuring horribly by doing it piecemeal like a reality series, chopping people one department at a time, lasting months.
