There are so many cons related to working for PTC right now....
PTC is a company without an identity due to the constant meddling of the CEO who has year after year bought companies in an attempt to gain new avenues of business, none of which have worked out to his expectations. Time and again we have heard the excuses. The product which has kept the roof on the building, Creo/ProE is constantly being undermined because it existed long before he came and remains today the most profitable and well respected product PTC offers which I believe bothers him greatly.
Now our CEO has decided we are going to throw all our goodwill out the window in pursuit of an IOT dream, beat IBM, Cisco, HP and everyone else to the punch by paying far too much for companies which operate in Niche IOT spaces. The reality is the young talent working at these companies snapped up by PTC are bailing rapidly. Talent working in the core Creo and Windchill products work with a packed box in the corner waiting for the hammer to fall based on all the rumors floating around.
If you do come work for PTC, hope you have a great boss who stays around long enough to nurture you and protect you from all the negativity which surrounds you. Be clear, PTC as a company cares little about it's employees and has little loyalty to long standing dedicated employees who have put their lives and families on the line year after year. Put yourself first, learn and grow your career. Do not expect any advancement
