My first job out college was at PTC first in tech support for Windchill and then as a dev for Windchill. Windchill is PTC's PLM/VCS for CAD files. I never really touched CAD. I launched PROe a handful of times, but mainly to test some integration into Windchill.

Over the course of 3 years there, I saw maybe 6 or so companies bought by PTC and nothing ever really done with them. Probably the most successful was FlexPLM which for some reason was built on Windchill to offer PLM type software for the apparel industry. It only survived because PTC ignored it.

PTC is a company full of too much bureaucracy and managers all trying to push features over completeness.
