PTC reviews

You are always living on a quarter-to-quarter basis. The highest level of effort you can bring to the job will often be seen as "barely adequate" by your supervisor. There is no such thing as management feedback for the purpose of personal development. Most managers completely ignore the official HR performance review process. Praise consists of back-handed compliments, such as "you did good this time, but you should have done much better." The overall attitude is "we will never be good enough." This pervasive culture of negativity is probably a holdover from the company's poor performance over the last decade (even though the company is doing quite well now). The deeper problem is that success is not its own reward at PTC. There is no reveling in your accomplishments here. You can never do enough. This is not the place to build a career AND live a life you love... unless you don't care for life outside of work.

Menial work at times, lack of guidance due to overworked management. High turnover rate, most co-workers were there 3 years or less. Tons of unnecessary infrastructure to wade through. Product was very messy and lacked focus or quality.
