I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PTC (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me and there was a small phone interview to get a feel if I would be a great fit for the company. I provided a salary range that would take me to leave my current employer. The recruiter thought it was within their range and continued the process. I talked to the hiring manager over the phone and we agreed to an interview. The in person interview went well and I fully expected and received an offer.
The recruiter gave me a call back and extended an offer that was 10% lower than my salary minimum. I declined the offer because it was lower than my minimum but expressed interest in finding common ground. The recruiter told me they would get back to me to see if they can increase their offer and/or PTO. The recruiter never gave me a call back. I called the recruiter back after 3 days and he said they would be interviewing other candidates and he would get back to me regardless in a few days. I did not bother to check in a second time.
It is clear the company is not interested in negotiating on anything to bridge a gap and hoped that I would be willing to work for less than what would take me to work for them. After reading the reviews and their job benefits, it was a wise decision because it is clear they do not invest in their employees who stay there beyond 3 years.

I applied online. I interviewed at PTC (Budapest) in May 2026
Interview
There was a was an HR screen, a teamfit round, and and a third round where the focus was on frontend architecture, and whether I know specific technologies like OpenAPI, There was no live coding, which was a positive surprise. In the end I was not selected. Based on the feedback email it was due to my lack of deep knowledge in OpenAPI and some Angular libraries and modules they are using.

I applied online. I interviewed at PTC in Feb 2024
Interview
The process was smooth until I got selected. However, after that, they never released the offer. The HR (Sourav) kept promising that the offer would be released, but it never happened. I ended up wasting 3 months. I would advise don't attend interview here.
