Pros

Some exciting technologies being developed, of if its technology you're interested, have a look, but also look at what others are doing!

Cons

Customers don't matter to PTC! Employees don't matter to PTC! All that matters is the share price! This attitude will break PTC as customers are expected to pay monthly subscription rather than perpetual license fees. Customers will walk away. Workforce is cut virtually every quarter and no consultation with managers happen to decide who should stay and who should go. Your skill set or experience doesn't matter when you are made redundant. The pressure is on those remaining at PTC to work more than humanly possible to pick up the workload from those made redundant. Think hard before you sign up to work for PTC. It's a text book example of how not to run a company.

Blew the IoT Opportunity

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

Should have been the clear leader in IoT by now. Had acquired the top 2 IoT platforms in the market (ThingWorx and Axeda), had a multi-year head start on the competition, and were in position to dominate the space.

Cons

Bungled the execution of IoT acquisitions. Lost most of the acquired IoT DNA through turnover and layoffs. Now left with former CAD and PLM staff trying to pick up the pieces. Meanwhile the market (google, amazon, salesforce, microsoft, oracle) have all introduced IoT specific offerings. No alliances with those true platform and cloud companies means they are competitors and will eat PTC's IoT lunch.
