Could be a decent company, but much to learn
Pros
The company offers competitive pay and a very progressive benefit package, especially if you are a star performer...however that comes at a cost.
Cons
Some of the worst management you'll ever see. The company is run by a round table of good ole boys, naturally all white, and all male. Women and people of color are nowhere to be found in the C and executive levels here. The corporate policies and attitude among PTC's elite is nauseating. Just recently, all employees were removed from the company cell phone plan except the E level and above, claiming that is an industry standard. Completely untrue, none of my many contacts and acquaintances working for mid-large companies in the Boston area are experiencing such policies Project management is appalling as well. Software companies that grow as large as PTC have qualified leaders in order to be successful (think Microsoft, IBM). PTC has a habit of promoting from within, usually people who have no business being in there promoted position. I recently was hired by another tech firm in the Boston area, I'm happily leaving the wreckage that is PTC and sincerely hope they make changes soon for the sake of my colleagues I'm leaving behind.
