Pros

This is a very stable company, and there are opportunities for growth if you apply yourself appropriately.

Cons

Corporate culture can be a bit difficult; there are many people at PTC who have been there for many, many years and can be a bit difficult to work with.

Pros

Competitive position in the PLM market: there are opportunities to grab market shares. Very large customers using the software that are willing to provide useful feedback. Nice people to work with for the most part and I had the pleasure of working for the best manager in my whole career (Laurie Chidester).

Cons

Corporation suffers from ADD. In "Good to great" by Collins, it would be characterized as a fox and definitely not an hedgehog. Software wise, it suffers from a nasty case of Not Invented Here syndrome so technical debt is very high bordering on unmanageable. Partnering with bigger players to integrate with existing and market leading solutions falls into the NIH case and gets discarded (in the era of GIT who buys a software company that has its own source control system based on CVS on DB ? ). Playing the financially motivated game of outsourcing work to low-cost countries and moving it around from low-cost to lower-cost adds up to long delays in product deliveries. Year after year R&D cuts.
