Topics regarding layoffs at Citrix Systems Inc.

Morale is incredibly low

I don't think the leadership realizes just how low the morale is right now and what it could mean for the company. It's not just pushing out the best talent, it's also ki----g productivity in those who decide to stay (or more precisely, those who... — read more 

What would Citibco have to pay you to stay?

When evaluating an offer from another company, how does one assess the current job from Citibco? What is the value assigned to the risk of some change to one's position/salary/bonus/RSUs? Assume Citibco is paying you 100K with potential for 20%... — read more 

It's too late

If you were hoping to leave and didn't manage to get a better offer by now or if you were simply procrastinating thinking the job market would always be this good, it's now too late. All major and not-so-major tech companies have instituted hiring... — read more 

No room to advance.

To be perfectly honest, the only thing that is keeping me at this company is the thought that there will be advancement opportunities as there is a lot of attrition in lower management tier. Turns out that that is not the case. Instead of promoting... — read more 

Stock Price

I left several months ago but still have stock through ESPP. Watching the price I'm wondering why it's not trading much closer to the $104 deal price. I did read about reluctance of finance companies to cover the debt based on higher interest rates... — read more

What’s the latest on things?

Many of us have flown the coup. Curious how things are going in terms of: Latest update and close date on the purchase, I.e. when Tibco becomes sole owner? Any big names that have departed? What is the latest line of bulls—t that is being fed... — read more 

Dead-end job

We're now in the constant state of waiting to get hit in the next layoff round that can happen at any point in time. I don't know anybody who is still thinking about Citrix long-term. It's all about making it another day or another week or another... — read more 

I despise this place

Every of the three years I've been here has been pure he-l for me. I've never worked in such a toxic culture before so that was a shock. Then there's the fact that the workload keeps increasing and nobody gives a damn that it's no longer possible to... — read more 

Congrats!

With the cost of everything going up the pay stays the same. I am not sorry but when people from other states working remote get paid a crazy salary for the same work we do and buy houses down here for $550K cash pushing the locals out of the market... — read more 

There is little that can be done

People are leaving here. Expectations from employees have long become unrealistic. What can Citrix do to keep its employees? Unfortunately, I think there is little that can be done. Everyone is leaving because of years of bad management here. This... — read more 

Lack of integrity, honesty, and transparency

How can a company function without integrity, honesty, or transparency? It can't, and Citrix is the best example of that. The lack of those three key qualities has left us in the position we're in right now. I don't expect to see anything change... — read more 

Retention bonus

Has anyone in engineering received a retention bonus? If so, did you just straight up give an ultimatum to your manager to give you a retention bonus or you quit? Also how big was the bonus?

Are any of them worried about the future of Citrix?

I think those at the top only care about their compensation and bonuses. If they really cared about the future of this company, everything would be much different here. None of the leaders looks worried about the future of this company.

Things are not as bad as they seem

I know a lot of people are stressing over what's coming, but as somebody who has already been impacted, I can tell you that things are not as bleak as they seem. There are still many companies that offer better pay and benefits and do more... — read more 

The culture of correcting mistakes

Last couple of years the management with their lost decisions and the illogical procedures created the culture of constantly correcting mistakes. We had our share of challenges during the years but we always got things done fluidly and there was... — read more 

Executives at Citrix are Being Mislead

The ELT is following a familiar playbook which was perfected in the eighties by teams at Bain Capital. If you're not familiar; Google "Bain Capital and Mitt Romney". The interest of Vista is only in taking massive profits. Any benefit given the... — read more 

Sponsorship > Your compensation

Citrix still sponsors the RedBull team lol but can not pay up to have talent come in or retain. I bet everyone in the ELT is enjoying the festivities at the F1 race weekend.... While everyone else is doing the real work.

Who is left on the bridge???

What is going on with black out periods

I left Citrix after my RSUs vested on April. Why am I not allowed to still sell my vested stocks? It says there is a black out period. Before leaving I remember an email that the window was closing on 28th of April. Wtf is goin on?

How do they plan to replace all these people?

An incredible number of people are leaving. I don't know anyone who intends to stay here for long. On the other hand, Citrix is doing nothing to at least try to keep all those people who are leaving. Are they aware that it will be increasingly... — read more 

When Should I Sell My RSUs

I was awarded some RSUs that vested last month. Does it makes sense to sell them now or wait for the acquisition to complete?

Citrix has become a company of employee misery

I see people working harder than ever and longer than ever, not taking a break the whole day. Some are doing double work loads, and why? Because they think that'll make them stand out and survive the ongoing culling. They do this even though it's... — read more 

VDI/DaaS trade in program

Does anyone know if VMware and other competing vendors have trade-in programs for Citrix customers?

Citrix company culture is Toxic.

Never seen management and a HR department treating employees like this. Just to hit the redundancy targets set for the acquisition. The worst part is they think it's normal in business.

Found on LinkedIn, I recognized Citrix right away!

A Japanese company and a North American company decided to have a canoe race on the St. Lawrence River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The North... — read more 

Unmanageable is a harsh word

Job hunting

I'm just starting to look for new opportunities. Most think that a new job can be found in two or three months. I wonder though if anyone has been trying unsuccessfully to get a new job for a few months or even longer?

The shitrix section of this website is the busiest of all the companies here. So the question is anybody doing work at shitrix or are they on this website all day long? Shouldn’t you be looking for another job so you can exit this shithole in... — read more 

Complete talent brain drain

The amount of talent walking out the door is mind boggling. Today I heard of 5 more super smart people leaving, let alone the bright talent over the past months and year. The knowledge gap is widening beyond comprehension.

Quitting without a job lined up

Many times I wished to quit here even though I had no other job lined up, but of course I would never do that. I've been here for a few years and for a long time I didn't know anyone who's done that, but it's starting to happen. A few months back... — read more
