Pros

Smart people who work hard and have really good ideas. There's a ton of opportunity if you're a self-starter and can drive conversations -- including great exposure to upper management. Overall good work/life balance and flexibility as well when it comes to working from home or taking time off.

Cons

Upper management changes their mind and overall direction *extremely* often. Given that, it's hard to have faith in the leadership and overall future for the company. The office headquarters (Needham, MA) feels a bit run down and like an older tech company.

Pros

Always moving extremely fast and constant changes provide for exposure to different teams and business objectives. Never any "downtime", the day flies by. People are great but this will be unique to your own experience - I enjoyed my experience with my manager and second-level manager. Acquisitions help the company grow.

Cons

Constant reductions in force. Work life balance is non existent; working long hours and during vacations is not forced on you but is required in order to keep up with your job. Always drowning in work due to under-qualified coworkers, a product of turnover. Nepotism and favoritism run rampant throughout the ranks, especially in upper management. Development happens slowly if at all and lobbying for a salary increase is like pulling teeth. Dedicating extra time and working during time off isn't acknowledged, recognized, or appreciated at all; let alone compensated for. Stay away from PTC unless you are a VP, in which case you are untouchable.
