The number of male and female researchers and engineers in the research team as well as in leadership positions in the company is almost equal. Feeling supported by having equal opportunities to advance in their career creates a working environment where all employees are motivated to work and perform to their full capacity, which benefits equally the personal growth of the employees and the growth of the company as a whole.
PTR unlike other corporate offices provides a very safe environment for learning and growing. The diverse nature of the office provides an opportunity to work with and under people who are leading teams on bases of capability rather than any biases.
