PTC reviews

-Salaries don’t meet the average standards in Boston metro area - Leadership positions dominated by white men. Men are promoted over women and most mid and senior management roles are held by white men - Layoffs happen every year. In November the company laid off a lot of people to save $60 M. Great employees were let go. This tanked existing employees’ morale. It is PTC constant way to save money and shows poor planning. They hired a lot if people less then a year ago and many of them were let go a few months later -talking about diversity seems to be a lip service. Not much diversity at all

Interviewed with direct manager and assumed would be working for her upon hiring; on day one learned that another manager was hired between us. Not very transparent from a job-search perspective. Onboarding was near-absent (big emphasis on "learn as you go" but you mostly learn that there's simply no process or accountability for many tasks). Constantly delayed on projects due to lack of institutional knowledge on common practices, resources, or tools. Misled regarding relative time spent on different job tasks, ultimately spent most of time chasing trial conversion deals from leads that unimpressive sales team "qualified". KPIs and metrics of success were wildly unrealistic and underlying assumptions not justified at any point. Requested commission/bonus when realized how much of work was sales, but goals were unattainable because I'd already closed most of my best leads, leaving me far fewer opportunities to win during goal period. Nepotism and mediocrity tolerated/overlooked regularly. Finally, after strong performance for an entire year, laid off during November purge with absolutely no notice nor option to seek other roles.
