Pros

A good place to work since it's a big company with enough room for carrier growth. Various technology stack. One of the benefits is paternal leave.

Cons

Salary can be better, also some corporate mind-thinking.

Lots of PTO, good company

Business Outlook

Pros

Nobody believes how much time off PTC offers: 22 days off from the start, rising to 27 after 4 years and 32 after 10 years, plus 12 holidays. Fridays during the summer are early release, and there are various half-days before other holidays. Also 12 weeks paid parental leave. Employees are valued and salary is fine. Teams are small and a good employee will make a real difference to a team.

Cons

Compensation is a little mysterious, there are no public salary bands by title. Engineer quality varies quite a lot, as great people often stay many years for the benefits but less-good people are not easily let go, especially from lower-cost areas overseas. The hiring process seems idiosyncratic by team.
