Biggest variety of talent and raw brainpower in the Seaport
Pros
- truly fabulous benefits. Parties, beautiful office, spontaneous days off, so many benefits and amenities you need to devote at least an hour to make sure you haven't missed any. My boss once devoted half an hour at a staff meeting to review benefits he was n't sure people knew about. We have a ton. - I came from academia and another industry. I am mid-career. Never in my career have I met such a range of ferociously talented people. Example I had a presentation to do. I consulted a former broadway performer, a technical wizard who works on the bleeding edge, a person with national-caliber debating and presentation experience, three gifted writer,s and a senior financial person who's an elite age-group athlete. Most people buttress their professional skills with two other sets. One person has years of experience in PR that complements a totally different skill set. When I first started here, a senior person told me "I've never, not once, met a PTC-er who wasn't willing to be helpful." If you value intellectual firepower and want a candy-store of talent, work at PTC. Also, very welcoming to people who are different. I stutter. Not one person has ever made me feel bad or tried to 'help' Yay PTC. I rarely work at home because I don't want to miss anything. I do know that people who need to do (kids, ageing parents, etc.) have freedom to plan with their managers. Email the CEO! He'll write you back.
Cons
We are meeting centric, but with the new open plan office , you can cut those off by going to see people. Strategy tends to shift, but I am advised this is typical for software companies.
