I feel sorry for those who still believe they can have a career here. Unless you're already in management, tough luck. You're here to either do all the work with no reward or to be cut when the time comes while the bloated management levels remain... — read more
Who is going to be left to do the work?
More than half of my team left the company this year. No new hires. Yet we are being threatened by layoffs everyday and see them really happening at certain parts of the company. What’s the deal here? Who is going to do the work if we’re all going... — read more

Wonder how this is possible when not every shareholder was able to vote. https://www.citrix.com/news/announcements/apr-2022/citrix-shareholders-approve-acquisition.html
Three people left my team in the last month
We're barely functioning right now, but I'm still happy for them. I'll be gone as well as soon as I can.

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

Hey so wondering anyone heard anything about this?
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

Any update on merger layoffs
Heard it is going to happen right after the April RSU vesting.
What do you suggest for newcomers to the company?
Leave, or stay (will Citrix backstab early in career)?
After 8 years of working at Citrix, I am glad I took the plunge and moved on
A few things going wrong I could take, but everything going downhill over the years is a bit too much. I'm not even talking about layoffs. I'm talking about poor increases, poor bonuses, no work/life balance, and unrealistic goals. Add to that the... — read more
Citrix had a huge potential
When I first started working here, the company had a huge potential. Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn't have imagined that in a few years this place would look like this. What do you think how different things could have been in this company if... — 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

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
