Minpunten
Working at Align was the worst decision I’ve ever made in my professional career. The positive reviews are a sad attempt to mislead new talent, the fact that they’re all somewhat recent is suspicious. When I first came onboard (in 2021), the negative reviews on this site really concerned me. At the time their rating was a 2.5. Now looking at their almost 5 stars is comical because it’s definitely fake. I am embarrassed to have worked there. Here are the cons I witnessed: - overwhelming amount of work, so you are forced to work overtime but discouraged from putting in OT hours unless you are a billable employee. - toxic culture. Bullying is rewarded. Asking questions is frowned upon. - horrible CEO. He is an unapproachable man who verbally embarrasses employees in meetings and via email. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone takes legal actions against him, it is really that bad. He has made numerous employees cry during the short time I was there. - there are literally no perks except pizza in the office when some of the higher management decides to come in. - you must report to the office. They have a “hybrid” schedule but it is basically 4 days in the office. Even during covid outbreaks. - not only do you have to report to the office but you must be there at 8:30am sharp and dressed professionally. Some people are allowed to dress down but only the bosses favorites, which I found really bizarre. In this day and age most other companies encourage a business casual attire but not align. - it’s the quintessential boys club. Cigars in the conference room and locker room talk. - terrible pto policy. Please take it from me and listen to these reviews, don’t make the same mistake I did.
