Pros

PTC is going through two very large business model pivots- change in product direction to IoT and moving to subscription. These changes require a new way of operating and an updated culture. I have been with PTC for about 8 months. I have never joined a company more hungry for new ideas and open to outside points of view. I am excited to be part of place where I can really test out innovative approaches and concepts. If you want a place to experiment, this is the right home for you.

Cons

The on-boarding program is fairly weak and needs a "face lift." This weak program makes it hard to initial acculturate and get a good feel for the culture. I would also say, like any company in the midst of change, things can be chaotic and fluid. Some long-term employees are having a hard time with the pace of change and a lot of the negative reviews reflect this sentiment. Finally, if you need a lot of structure, PTC would not be a place for you right now. Fast change is the name of the game at PTC.

Pros

The company has a large number of very smart, talented people. You are guaranteed to learn a lot while working there. Also, free coffee, garage parking, and on-site gym.

Cons

Where to begin... 1) It's very unlikely anyone from PTC management/HR is actually reading these reviews, seeing as the worst reasons for working there repeat themselves over and over again, with no solution in sight. This, to me, is an issue. It tells me employee feedback is not all that important. Prospective employees, listen to me when I tell you: you can do better! 2) VERY political atmosphere. Oftentimes, I felt like I was walking on eggshells just so I don't rock the boat of PTC politics. Made for low morale, high stress. 3) As many others have said, but it bears repeating: the company is singularly focused on the next shiny object, and does not seem to be invested in maturing its solutions and actually "talking the talk." This manifests itself in a number of ways, but most glaringly, it occurs with the company's fetish of buying (read: overpaying for) other companies and then failing to properly integrate those companies underneath the PTC umbrella. This leads to... 4) Too many layoffs. Because how else can you afford to buy your new, shiny objects without laying off a whole bunch of the people who helped you attain that shiny object in the first place? RIFs can be expected once, if not twice, per year. Your job at PTC is not safe, so why bother working there in the first place? 5) Minor detail, but the office is pretty darn drab inside...especially the bathrooms. Feels outdated, tired, and depressing.
