Pros

The benefits are good. My immediate boss is great. The core products are great.

Cons

This company has champagne taste and a beer budget when it comes to R&D. Management is always focused on the next shiny object and most recent acquisition. They don't invest in R&D to the level needed to achieve their vision. I'm still doing the work of 5 people from the cuts that were done 2 years ago. Everything is understaffed and underfunded.

Pros

- Pockets of innovation and really smart, caring teams (if you’re lucky, you’re joining a great team), but it is so inconsistent) - Offers good mobility to move into different roles and try something else - Innovative technology but some products not yet well adopted by customers

Cons

- Constant layoffs, typically dictated by a management consultant firm (not necessarily employees and leaders that know the business inside out) - Too many initiatives and priorities mean none of them are important - New leadership has isolated themselves from others at the company, they barely acknowledge employees, and hide away in conference rooms - what is driving acquisition strategy is sometimes unclear and reinvestments into SaaS are confusing - core business and saas products seemingly become redundant - A lot of great talent has left PTC in the last year - Lack of diversity especially in women leadership - Doesn’t feel like decisions are made in the best interest of customers

Pros

Great benefits. Individual contributors are generally good people. If you live in India, this is probably a great company for you.

Cons

Moving most positions to India. If you are US based stay away. They have layoffs every 6 - 12 months and have no problem eliminating top contributors. Plus they routinely underpay. Very old school in development and management practices. Talks a good game of modern agile development but uses waterfall in reality. Serious culture of blame which stifles creativity. CEO has his younger brother in charge of key initiatives and he is not qualified. The nepotism is extreme. CEO also has strong desire to stop most remote work and have everyone come into the office 2-3 days per week.
