Pros

PTC offers excellent vacation days - up to 6 weeks (plus 10 holidays) for 10+ years of service. Flex time is great, but can vary by manager. Many [at least partial] WFH opportunities.

Cons

Employees do not come 1st (or 2nd or 3rd). PTC hires in anticipation of more work, which doesn't come through, and then has layoffs just about every year. No raises in 3 of the last 6 years. No money for training or career development. Rarely promote from within.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
