Pros

PTC knows how to acquire companies to grow. Then position themselves as a top-shelf provider of technology. Great place to stop in and learn for the type A out there. They have some great products and people.

Cons

Not a great place to be if you were acquired. The inside picture at an acquired company is very different than when PTC fist shows up. Executive staff swoop in and pick the bones of the acquired company. Looking to merge "sort of the same" departments; lacking an understanding of the acquired company's customers and staff. Only seeing that there is profit for advancing their agenda. Prior to understanding how the pieces of the acquired company work and how they function at the contributor’s level PTC will make cookie cutter changes. The acquired companies’ customers suffer for years, the staff is shown smoke and mirrors as a future. Do not expect to receive training unless you are management. Management training is just to form a collective of drones who do little to make improvements unless they can move forward and have an executive supporter. PTC does not fix employees that need assistance to improve at their jobs; they cull. They must cull the younger staff to fit the requirements of wrongful termination to older higher paid staff. Do not expect to receive training unless you are management. Management training is just to form a collective of drones who do little to make improvements unless they can move forward and have an executive supporter.
