PTC Blaine

Pros

I worked for PTC in Blaine and Arden Hills for a number of years. The people in the MN office are great and were always supportive of their coworkers. There were plenty of opportunities to move forward in my career and learn new things. I got a lot of great experience from working at PTC.

Cons

With any corporation there are decisions and programs that work and some that miss the mark when they are rolled out to all of the offices. So it would be easy to list some of the poor ones. Better to look at how the company is actually performing. There is a current trend to lay off experienced people in one location and hire people in cheaper locations. A number of people from my office including me were let go. Given the track record, this is probably not the last lay off. Now it is time to watch whether this works or not.

Chasing Shineys

Pros

PTC has a very good compensation plan, and excellent vacation plan. The individuals I work with directly in my location are wonderful.

Cons

Top exec team seems to be more interested in chasing shineys than actually following through on any given direction. They buy up good companies and then change priorities immediately and go after a new strategy, leaving the acquired business blowing in the wind. some of the directions they take seem to make sense, but after changing direction so many times it is impossible to feel motivated to do anything. We waist money on useless things all the time, but then won't spend money on obvious things like hardware to actually develop the products we want to sell.

Miserable Place

Pros

good amount of vacation days, allow work from home sometimes depending on manager ***notice that they paid to have a "featured review"

Cons

Layoffs every quarter, management doesn't care about the people who actually do the work Enormous bonuses, salaries and stock options for the guys at the top but the little guy is lucky to get a 1% bump, if anything. Revolving door of upper management. No accountability. IT department is moving all but upper management to India by 2017. H1B visa to green card takes at least 10 years. No training.
