Lower ranked employees are nothing but a number

Everybody needs to do proper research before leaving

I know of two people who left Citrix in the last six months to join VMware. One of them is already regretting that decision. I still can't wrap my head around somebody leaving for another company and not doing proper research on it. It's enough to... — read more

When an email I receive from a manager contains a whole slew of spelling and grammar mistakes, then you know something is wrong in the promotion process. This person is supposed to represent us when he corresponds with people outside of the company... — read more

Marketing department - major attrition

Its better to just keep your mouth shut

I made a big mistake when I decided to consult with the manager to try to set priorities, since the deadline was terribly short and it was unrealistic to finish all the work in such a short time. Ever since then, I feel like a target for a future... — read more

No retention plans

I haven’t noticed that Citrix has any effective retention plan, and even though the talent is bleeding I don't think it will have it in the future either. That's a little weird. Since they don't care about the capable and talented, I'm wondering... — read more 

Citrix vs. Cisco

Probably not the right thread for this, because most people on here hate Citrix. I've been happy with my time at Citrix but wondering if anyone has had experience at Cisco. Between the two companies, which is better in your experience?

Exit interview

Why so much attrition?

The reasons are, of course, numerous, but many of these issues were present at Citrix even before and yet the attrition was not as high as it is now. I think the main reason is that many see the company's tendency towards offshoring and prefer to... — read more

Morale has been destroyed by senior management

Working in uncertainty

I definitely didn't intend to stay here until retirement and I am aware that safe job does not exist anywhere, but at Citrix the uncertainty is the only certainty there is. That creates a very tense and difficult atmosphere. How can anyone work and... — read more
