Best place to work and corporate values.
All marketing BS, in reality they don't care about mental or physical health, what happens to you and your family. People like JK get millions on this acquisition when only being part of the company for arroung 9 month's. They want to get rid of... — read more
Retention Efforts - Stop insulting our intelligence
Evidently they are "working on" retention efforts... in fact a meeting is scheduled this very afternoon... Nice side step! Do you think we're that d-mb - there are no retention efforts. We are absolutely hemorrhaging talent like never before. A... — read more
How is the retention program mentioned in the proxy being implemented?
Does anyone know how the retention program mentioned in the proxy is being implemented or whether it has been finalized and already put in motion? I'm especially curious given that in today's GEM the executives didn't give any specifics surrounding... — read more
Still more for ELT less for employees
According to recent SEC filings ELT keeps getting more stocks, in the millions of $$$, like a clockwork. This is while mumbling during GEM how there is not much they can do to reduce attrition. No wonder trust in ELT is nonexistent, people are not... — read more
"Stay because this is a neat opportunity" - DK
DK just said that at the GEM. More blanket statements, no answers, still no strategy, no direction, no answers on fixing attrition issues. They still haven't told us from GEM right after the restructuring HOW they intend to fix the prioritization and... — read more
Senior Director of Product Management, CVAD and CC left.
Company is a empty shell and sinking ship with even the VDI core knowledge leaving. Customers should calculate the business risk and move towards other vendors if the risk is to high.
A sinking ship
After all, each of us can find a job somewhere else. But what about Citrix? Will this company look like the former Citrix in a few years? There are still capable people here but it is worrying what will happen when they all leave? Leadership... — read more
Leave right now
The moment this cr-p started I began looking for a new job. I've been out for a few weeks now and it's been great. Honestly, if you've decided to stick through this entire bu-----t hoping you'll be the one to dodge the bullet, then you're doing a... — read more
Name one thing that would make Citrix beter.
We complain a lot, so let's add something constructive to this discourse. Name one thing that would make Citrix beter.
It is difficult to work without motivation
Even those in higher positions, such as our manager, often seem very demotivated. I started looking for another job because there really is no point in starting work every day with total contempt for everything this company has become. Is there ... — read more
Citrix sends UEM to the big Citrix graveyard.
When you proudly announce that you EOS UEM (CEM) a for the market and your customers key component of the Modern Workspace and call it modernizing. Then their is something really wrong with you perception of reality and vision. Trying to disguised... — read more
I'm surprised we're still able to keep and even get new customers
With all the cuts, both our product and customer service have suffered greatly. Instead of working on fixing that, the management is looking for ways to cut costs even further. I guess we have patient customers but even that patience will evaporate... — read more
If performance and productivity are not enough__
than what is the right way to try to keep a job here?
Severance is not worth waiting for
Obviously, many don’t know how much harder it is to look for a job when you don’t have a job, otherwise they wouldn’t be waiting for severance pay here. It happened to me once and I hope it will never again. That's why I'm a little worried because... — read more
Can somebody explain to me why are we hiring?
We've recently had a major round of layoffs, we keep having small layoffs every few weeks, we're looking at huge cuts within a few months...knowing all that, why in the world are we currently hiring? And what is being said to those new hires that... — read more
Do you think the work would be done in a better way if we didn’t have a direct manager at all?
I can’t help thinking that it would be done much quicker, easier and with more quality. All my manager does is slows down and blocks the processes, as he wants to be involved in everything, even in a lot of things that should go without saying. — read more
Bring it on
I'll welcome my pink slip at this point. I'm doing only what I have to at work and using the rest of the time to learn new skills. That seems like a much better use of my time. When the layoffs come, I'll be ready and happy to have them pay me to... — read more
Celebrating my anniversary at Citrix!
Two years of absolute misery! Here's to not making it to three!
I hate the uncertainty
It's causing us so much unnecessary stress and so much frustration. It has started affecting my mental health lately to the point that I can't even relax on weekends. I'm at the point where anything seems better than this, I'm just still too much of... — read more
Good management is always honest with its employees, good or bad
Citrix management intentionally leaves us in the dark about anything and everything that's happening. I think things would be much easier to deal with if we knew we could rely on those in charge to be open about what's going on. I would certainly... — read more
Merger layoffs to begin soon
So the ELT have been commanded to release 25% of ash-trix employees before the merger , which they will happily do. The whole summer will be one long nightmare. Good luck all.
What happens in acquisitions by private equity firms
There are very few companies owned by PE that come out with stronger talent than the day they were acquired. The best leave for the highest paying, most dynamic places. Some will be part of the ongoing layoffs. The rest stay because they either don't... — read more
Why bother?
By this time next year, a sizable portion of us will be laid off. I'm 90% certain that I'll be part of that group. So why should I bother and do anything other than the minimum? I'm just not motivated enough to give it my all anymore. They consider... — read more

If your new job is not great, you can change it
I know a few folks who're not leaving despite getting offers because they're scared they'll find themselves in a similar or worse situation. Here's the thing, if you're miserable at work, it's your responsibility and well within your power to make a... — read more
Citrix still operating in Russia
Slightly off topic but I just noticed Citrix were mentioned as still operating in Russia. Anonymous are planning to attack western companies still operating and making money there... https://twitter.com/YourAnonTV/status/1505679705797713927 Does... — read more
How many layoffed people have found jobs
Asking for a friend. She got a promotion and huge pay bump after Sh-trip layoff.
Management is a complete and utter mess
That's the gist of it. They have created a pathetic work culture with no concept of balance. That's a pity because I used to like my job. I work with great people and what I do is quite interesting. I can't enjoy it anymore, though, with all the... — read more
What's the incentive to stay?
I've been set on leaving for last few months. Headcount versus workload is a joke and the merit increase was an insult. Interviewing at the moment. So I'm just waiting on an offer then I'm gone. Every week there's more and more leaving. I'm... — read more
The leadership doesn't do anything to make things better here
Are we the only ones who think about the future of Citrix, or will the leadership finally start doing something to make positive changes here? Even one who does not understand business strategy realizes that this state of affairs as it is now is... — read more
Location, location, location
Anyone have a read on the future of the various Citrix offices? FTL seems like a lock, but Raleigh seems like an outsider these days and Santa Clara is all but completely invisible. No more Citrix Cycles in Raleigh city center, no coordinated RTO... — read more
There's still a lot of talent at Citrix
I am surprised at the many hateful "bu-t-hurt" comments I see posted here. Citrix is and will continue being a great company to work for. Many people don't understand that Citrix is NOT a not-for-profit company. Negativity will get you nowhere fast... — read more
RSU grant
Did they do a grant or something similar for April?
Check out the Tibco board here...
They seem to be just as F'd as Citrix is. So much for the idea that Vista fixed Tibco and turned them into a great shop ready for sale. They are posting about layoffs and mo--ns running the show just like here. They're gonna fit in beautifully!
Hang in there!
Its funny because if you stick around long enough and you were mediocre employee, you have a great chance of moving up to a job that you will be incompetent doing. So hang in there! Citrix is desperate but they are not doing anything to help make it... — read more
