Working at PT

We offer a flexible working culture designed to cultivate collaboration and encourage the best possible work. Each member of our staff has the freedom to create a productive and fulfilling work environment suited specifically to him or her. We have no set schedules or dress codes, and we offer a world-class set of benefits that help employees work from home and take time off when they need it. Recently, we were honored to have Triangle Business Journal recognize us in their 50 Best Places to Work in the Triangle issue.

PT is committed to not limiting ourselves with job titles. We believe titles can draw boxes around people and their jobs, restricting their aspirations and capabilities. We want all our staff members to have the freedom to expand, explore, and change the parameters of their work. Using titles runs counter to that goal.

The ideal candidate for a job at PT is interested in a constant process of learning and improving. Because roles change often and we frequently deal with new technologies, applicants should be flexible, curious, and resourceful. While experience in the technology, learning and development, and/or marketing industries is useful, we welcome less experienced folks who are willing and excited to learn. We also encourage applicants to note skills that may not relate directly to the position to which they’re applying; for example, Chinese or other foreign language skills are a bonus.

PT is committed to creating a work environment in which all of us treat each other with respect and dignity. We will not discriminate in the hiring process or any other part of your employment, including raises or task assignments. We absolutely prohibit any such discrimination or harassment, including sexual harassment, in the workplace. We want PT to be a place where everyone feels welcome, and any actions that make this environment feel hostile are in direct contradiction to our mission, our culture, and our beliefs.

To that end, and acting in accordance with regulations and guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), we provide equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, political affiliation, class, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, HIV or AIDS status, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, citizenship, genetic information, protected hairstyle, pregnancy, union membership, or any other characteristic protected by law.

"I enjoy working with people who challenge me to stretch my boundaries and abilities, all inside of an encouraging environment. I love being part of a company that does really interesting work on brand-new technology. I get to work in an inclusive setting with people from diverse backgrounds, different points of view, and vastly different levels of experience."
