I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PTC (Austin, TX) in May 2013
Interview
I was contacted by a PTC recruiter via LinkedIn. I interviewed with the recruiter, followed by a phone interview with a Product Manager Director. I then had 4 face-to-face interviews with 2 SW Dev directors, and 1 QA team, and 1 development team. I was asked questions about how I would write specs, manage releases, and a lot about UI design. I was also asked to provide SQL queries for a given schema to get some desired results. All of the questions I answered well. I found the team very agreeable and capable from my questions.
