Pros

Casual dress. Easy commute. A collection of smart and experienced people.

Cons

People treated like lowly slaves by egotistical managers who have no insight to their staff. They only care about profit. You are only a NUMBER and they will fire you at a whim. The exact words of a CEO: "We clean house. If you don't produce at the top level, you're gone." That's in addition to the hundreds of layoffs every time PTC buys up another company and "cleans house" on the previous staff. They just shrug and say it's part of their business. Well they're business is scattered all over the place--people in wrong roles with dozens of tasks and titles. People hating on other people. People not even close to being on the same page or project goal. Stay away from this place. No stability. No organization.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
