Pros

Knowledge focused company with in depth training programs. Good products that satisfy a lot of clients, but some engagements do have a lengthy cycle time. Great external image with a professionalism that impresses clients. Real experience gained for most employees.

Cons

Sometimes training can be too verbose. Lots of type-A personalities striving for recognition which can sometimes lead to unnecessary attrition of excellent talent. Performance is based on the stack ranking system which can be internally destructive. Work-life balance is sometimes a stretch. The normal political dodge-ball is present like in most other companies of it's size. Leadership is strong but sometimes not focused on growth, and sometimes leans toward the aggressive sale of products. Some products are being threaten by competitor products that have a shorter deploy cycle time and are more user-friendly.

Pros

PTC has great people who work for the company and are passionate about their day-to-day activities that they are responsible for. I think the people have a passion for making PTC's customers successful, but not necessarily for PTC as a corporation to "win" - which is a term often used by executives to describe how the overall company is doing. Depending on your job role you can have a good amount of autonomy to set your own schedule and goals - of course as long as they generally align with your management's desired outcomes.

Cons

The company strategy seems too focused on the current quarter's profits. Pay and benefits are declining while profits are up at record levels and increasing quarter by quarter. There is a relatively low level of morale among the employees when considering the overall company direction and how well they are treated by the corporation. The executives seem to run the company in a fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants manner where the company "strategy" changes every couple of quarters based on the desire to chase the hottest new trend while neglecting the company's core strengths of CAD and PLM.
