NONE ... There really iisn't anything that is that great to mentilon and there really aren't any company perks.

Cons

EXTREMELY LONG HOURS ! Employees are overworked and management thinks nothing of getting rid of employees and makes up reasons to get rid of people.

I developed severe PTSD from working here!

Pros

I cannot think of ANY pro of working here!!!!

Cons

It seems CERTAIN managers cannot sleep at night unless they have insulted you and made you feel extremely uncomfortable. My experience at PTC was so bad that I’ll probably have a panic attack if I were to walk into the company building again. 100% serious!!! Either Stuart P is completely unaware of how managers treat employees or he knows and just doesn’t care!!!!

This is more of a cult than a work place

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees had a lot of relative PTC experience as they all come through their "PTC University".

Cons

The employees have no real world experience outside of PTC and so have no real view on how to adjust to various situations. Employees get promoted within and not for talent but longevity. It reminds me of a cult..
