Pros

I met some very smart people while working with PTC both in the US and in other countries. Opportunity to work from home in certain roles. Good benefits but expensive! PTC has a chance to switch gears and go into Internet of Things but this means that there's a lot of experimentation going on trying to work out that 'killer app' for the PTC part of the business. If you work at corporate then there's an on-site cafe and gym.

Cons

Fewer people in North America each quarter with the constant cuts to the existing teams. No raises in a long time and very difficult to move up within the company. Constant change with no communication externally that change has occurred!

Pros

Flexible, great colleagues, good HR training on goals and objectives

Cons

Depends on the group, toxic culture pockets exist, abusive and bullying behavior is laughed at and accepted rather than corrected, unclear strategy, business unit level vision is lacking, no accountability, several HR complaints against a manager go unaddressed, slow to change, can be chaotic, more interest in checking the box than hitting the right mark.
