PTC reviews

There is so much mediocrity at all levels. Some of this is due to the fact that many people have been here for so long. People don't understand what "GREAT" really looks like. We need to expect more and better from people. Many of these long-timers would never make it at other companies. We are starting to align resources to the right areas of the business. The company really needs to dig into this. They should challenge every area of the business to identify and reduce 5-10% of their organization with people that are well below par or are just not needed. We don't need to add additional headcount - we just need to have high impact people in the right place. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of the good old boys club here. You can break in - but it is difficult. I don't think people realize how intimidating it can be. Some of the senior leaders continue to "protect" their friends. While this is admirable - if they are not adding value or not competent, this is a challenge.

The company is a sausage fest, there is a reason why reviews from the 'Black or African American' section is below everyone else. The company very much lacks diversity and it is palpable. The company's PTO policy is also below average for a large software company, on paper it's already below average and then you realize they also don't recognize any of the federal US holidays. Many of the 'sales targets' are based off meeting the goals that the company wants and is not based off the historical sales numbers, which leads to unrealistic expectations and when those expectations aren't met, rather than revise those targets they resort to 'layoffs'.
