have been well aligned since the first day


Explanation:
The word /always/ is redundant because the expression /from the first day/ means /always/. Nor is it accurate, because while there were no major problems, there were apparently some minor ones. In addition, since this is a resume, a superlative such as /always/ or /perfectly/ might be too strong a sales pitch. That /since the first day/ is also rather informal, but each of us has his/her own style.

Strange Portuguese: systems work, users work with systems. Hmmm...

Explanation:
I realize this draws on pieces of other people's answers, but I don't see any other way of saying it.
