Anyone here have insight into the cultute at PTC in Boston? Particularly the Augmented Reality group.
A lot of progress with culture of PTC in general - esp since the move to the new Boston HQ. Additions of women to the leadership team (including Head of AR). Lots of stuff with diversity and inclusion, and company is progressive with benefits (ie: fully paid maternity and paternity leave). Been voted Boston Globe Top PlAce to Work past couple years too (placement is based on employee surveys, not pay to play). Not the same old boys club it once was like the previous reply. I’ve worked at PTC for about 5 years. Hiring freezes, especially close to quarter and fiscal year end, are common, but this is also common at most global companies. When Glassdoor will provide a lot of info, but be sure to look at feedback from actual employees (not those who didn’t get hired) and those in Boston. A lot of the negative feedback is from India. THE AUGMENTED REALITY TEAM - AR is one of the pillars of PTC technology. This comes with good and bad. More budget given to this dept, but more pressure to hit aggressive goals. The dept is lead by Hillary Ashton. She’s no nonsense, smart, passionate about diversity and inclusion, and has recently won external awards for her leadership. Good person to google.
She left/quit, if I am not mistaken.
Yes, that is correct. But at the time of my response it was not the case.
This is great thank you! What about work life balance? Work from home opportunities (partial) etc? Seaport is not the most accessible especially if you’re commuting into the city.
Very dependent on the team. In my experience, most teams don’t allow wfh and those that do allow maybe 1 day a week.
Access is easy from mass pike. Basically get off ramp right into their garage. If you have parking!
Not a great place if you’re young and looking to improve skills, company moves at snail speed
Anyone has idea of PTC Boston reality lab culture and work ethics? Is it easy going and can learn in this?

Old boys club company. Dont know Boston in particular but got all way thru process a year ago to be ghosted at offer stage due to some reorg / freeze right before their end of fiscal. Every senior exec I met was an old white dude that had been there 15-20 years. Look at glassdoor data and feedback. They have some nice products though. Buyer beware
