Great people stifled by inept management

Pros

My coworkers were a great bunch, and probably the only reason I stayed as long as I did. The benefits were standard for this type of job, but probably better than the average US worker

Cons

Inept mid level management A vice president of XYZ dept for every day of the week. Having no less than 5 different managers in 8 years due to high turnover Constant company wide freezes on raises No clear cut milestones for advancement Meetings about meetings Constant changes of direction and operating procedures with no benefit. Truly the blind leading the blind

Pros

flexible hours, great location in downtown Boston, some great folks to work with

Cons

Executive mgmt. is incapable of growing the company. The revenue is stuck around $1.2B since 2015, even with iOt and AR hype. Very political and good people leave because they are not given proper authority to make a difference. I will stay away from this company. 50% of your time is wasted in dealing with every changing strategy, political processes and lack of customer focus.

Awful Experience

Pros

Met some passionate people that I still call friends, really great work-life balance, sales kick-off is cool, exciting to be part of the IoT and big data analytics movement, gym, stress was minimal

Cons

my time at PTC was extremely mediocre at best, no one cared much about my career development until the very end, had an engineering degree and yet my first manager spent our 1:1's talking about organizing my emails and asked me to take notes for him in meetings (think what he really wanted was a secretary), low-salary with minimal aka no raise or promotion opportunities (mind you I was uninspired there for obvious reasons and didn't deserve one :) but even those that did never got one) , too many people that have been there 20+ years and are just coasting, honestly depressing. Since leaving (11 months), I have doubled my salary, traveled to a bunch of cool places, have my voice heard/respected, have gotten 2 different significant bonuses, have many people both inside and outside of my org with interest in my career, can WFH anytime, and am working way more hours with some "stress" but couldn't be more thrilled/loving it. I am actually seeing myself develop and grow and it's freakin awesome.
