Q&A With PTC Employees
IDX: 25 TOT: 45
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining PTC?
That it has grown only by acquisition, and so has no cohesive culture, and therefore no ability to grow in healthy ways. That a 'chaotic' workplace doesn't even begin to describe the level of dysfunction that goes on minute to minute, not just day to day. That if you crave making order out of chaos, working for PTC Cloud Services will be your personal living hell.
How's the morale at PTC?
Each division is so siloed, you can't see over the edge. In Cloud Services, it is like a death march. The only reason people don't leave is because they are either addicted to the work from home angle, or they don't have time enough to job search.
How much diversity is there among employees at PTC?
Good from a racial and cultural standpoint.
What unique perks and benefits does PTC provide?
Some roles can be work from home, but these employees are left even further out of the corp culture than the office workers. Multiply that by a lot of off-shoring.
What's the vibe like in the IT dept at PTC? How many hours are you working?
50-60 hours is normal for Cloud Services. On call 24x7x365. Offshore resources work fewer hours and not on call, but are still driven like rented mules. A lot of management turnover, a lot of staff turnover or layoffs when the IT Dept is already at the bone. If you can imagine being chased by a locomotive across a trestle bridge with rotted ties while someone is shooting at you with a rifle, you've got the vibe about right.
What's the IT team like at PTC?
Diverse, and not in a good way. Diverse in terms of corp. culture since they all came from different acquisitions, so there is no standard way of doing anything across divisions, work units, data centers. Several run 'n gun cowboys who fix things just well enough to get it working again, but not to make the fix permanent, so there are many avoidable failures. Some thoughtful folks to who want to lead change, but have no management support other than the directive of "faster, more intense."
How's the leadership on the IT team at PTC?
Trapped in the 1990s. Have not embraced AGILE or DevOps. Perform quarterly layoffs, creating high turnover. Are running their whole SaaS environment on a skeleton staff, but keep insisting on grabbing new sales opportunities that require high CapEx and actual engineering to make impossible deadlines.
What do people at PTC think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Brilliant, incredible vision but does get quarterly myopia. Recently added new COO, strong asset, to team.
What do employees at PTC think about their benefits?
PTC employees rate their overall benefits an A+ and most of them think the perks are Neutral. 84% of PTC employees say they are satisfied with their benefits. The majority of employees also get 20-30 days of paid vacation, and most of the employees believe the cash value of their benefits is $2500+/mo.
How's career growth and advancement at PTC?
38% of the same employees also feel like PTC is invested in their career growth. On average, majority of employees have a mentor to help them navigate their career at PTC.
