Pros

Many of the very sharpest people I've ever dealt with work here, and I'm very pleased with my current chain of command

Cons

Overall very cliquish and political; too many stuffed shirts in senior management, treating the people who do the work and make the money like serfs laboring in the fields, rather than as valued resources. Too much lip service and hypocrisy in areas like "work-life balance", and "development", when the reality you see on the ground is to drive everyone as hard as possible, and give as little as possible in return. The annual review process is a joke, lots of time wasted on eye-wash, when the reality is that promotions and monetary rewards are based on things other than performance. Lots of really outstanding resources are leaving because they're tired of being treated like ****.

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).
