Pros

It is the creator of "the" CAD product, Pro/ENGINEER. It has a few super talented mathematicians and engineers. Office politics was minimal for a very long time.

Cons

In the recent year and half, company changed its strategics completely and very frequently. Pro/ENGINEER's USP features were not leveraged in sales or internally for a few years. Windchill organization performed the least value added projects with unnecessary meetings, overhead, and project management training (CMMI, SCRUM..).

Pros

Parametric Technology Corp (PTC) provides employees with excellent training in their available software packages. Their salary and benefits packages are average compared to their competitors.

Cons

The managers are technologically savvy, but most do not know how to manage people. People who work from a Home Office (i.e. field personnel) have much higher workload requirements than those working at the corporate office without getting paid more. For that reason, most people who leave PTC, do so because of the 80% (32 hours per week min) billable time requirement (travel can be up to 20 additional hours per week and is not considered billable).

Pros

Salary is on the higher side for MA. Benefits package is also good. Large customer base (although not growing) means some stability

Cons

Poor management, highly political, locker room mentality, no attention to work/life balance, no focus on employee growth, management actually takes pride in PTC being a "brutal place to work" (actual quote from a marketing VP)
