Pros

Parametric Technology Corp (PTC) provides employees with excellent training in their available software packages. Their salary and benefits packages are average compared to their competitors.

Cons

The managers are technologically savvy, but most do not know how to manage people. People who work from a Home Office (i.e. field personnel) have much higher workload requirements than those working at the corporate office without getting paid more. For that reason, most people who leave PTC, do so because of the 80% (32 hours per week min) billable time requirement (travel can be up to 20 additional hours per week and is not considered billable).

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.
