I have left PTD a year ago after seeing the ACT circus.
There is a reason why PTD is hiring only RCGs. If you compare what a PhD is doing there (and the number of hours it works) with other research organizations in the industry, experienced people will leave within days. Why would a company pay so much for a PhD to look at red/green charts? What a waste.
Is that how innovation is being fostered?
After a few years there, It took me a while to go back into research and development at my new job. My skills weren't sharp.
No job is perfect, but there are plenty more suitable for a PhD. The world is big.
