Pros

Convenient location for those in Metrowest. Some nice perks such as free gym, nice outdoor park. Decent salary/benefits if you know how to get into the secret bonus pool.

Cons

Ruthless management, incredibly process-heavy. Does not value employees of acquired companies. Incredibly robotic HR machine. Weird, labyrinthine facilities that separate people who should be working together.

Declining benefits, pay seems a bit below satisfactory.

Business Outlook

Pros

Although benefits have weakened over the years, PTC still offers reasonably good benefits to employees. Folks are generally very talented and hard working, without excessive political infighting filtering down from upper management (I'm sure it exists, though).

Cons

As a mid-cap public company, it operates at the whim of investors. A missed quarterly target can easily result in layoffs just to keep shareholders happy. And it definitely has the big company feel - very hard to be agile.
