Pros

- Yearly pay reviews - Benefits are decent - Most of the people I worked with were awesome - Lots of HR schemes to allow you to train and grow, eg. Lynda.com

Cons

- Pretty ruthless when there is a slight dip in profits, which is tough to stomach when you see upper mgmt getting millions in stock options whilst others are clearing out their desks - Career advancement depends on your location - Lots of the "fun" HR initiatives only really occur at the main offices - Stock bonuses are usually drip fed you over a many years, and don't start immediately, eg. Thanks for all your hard work, here are 30 shares!! Well actually we'll release 10 of those this time next year, and then another 10 the year after, and btw - if we make you redundant through no fault yours in the meantime, you won't get jack!

Pros

All the good things and good people have been done away with lately.

Cons

Brilliant architects, programmers, coders, employees laid off. Folks who made PTC what it is today chucked out "to make the numbers". The product development company has been turned into a cutthroat service based culture. Their motto " pit employees/teams against each other in name of competition ". Growing nepotism and insecurity amongst management causing rapidly deteriorating work culture. Every man for himself. Question your management and you'll be put on the hit list for next cycle.

Terrible Management; Sinking Ship

Pros

There is generally a lack of accountability and responsibility, which can be great if you just want a job that pays (though not well).

Cons

1. PTC is a terribly managed company at every single level: the top level management lacks a sense of direction and struggles to articulate their vision in detail; some middle managers are hard working but some are simply incompetent and unpleasant to work with. 2. PTC is a sinking ship: The company is not growing and will unlikely grow or simply maintain its operations within the coming years. Its technical competence is obsolete and the company hasn't figured out a way to fuel growth with new talent or technology.
