Citrix is sinking

I envy those who are able to leave. I'm stuck here for personal reasons and watching this place sink further and further every day has not been a good experience. But it is what it is. It helps to know I'm not in this alone and others are also... — read more 

You are not trapped here

I see so many posts from unhappy people who seem miserable working here, but for some reason, they make a choice to stay day in, day out. Why? Nobody is forcing you to stay here. Do yourself a favor and walk away. The job market has never been... — read more

A Citrix story

Citrix is in a ho-e it may not get out of. It has a set of products that didn’t keep pace and continue to lose relevance. The pace of industry change over the last ~5 yrs. caught leadership off-guard, coupled with a very different Microsoft no longer... — read more

When did culture at Citrix change so much?

What happened here? This was a decent place to work and now it has the most toxic culture I've experienced in my career, and I've worked at more than a few companies in my nearly three decades of work experience. I hope things will start to improve... — read more

Can anything be improved here without radical changes?

People are usually worried when someone intends to buy the company they work for. Citrix is the only company where even some of my colleagues think it would be better for the company to be bought. This means that people here do not see the... — read more

Citrix - A management lesson for schools.

The current state of Citrix can become a leadership lesson - "How to ruin a great company and fast?". We are such a disaster now that unless there is a good level of cleanup at leadership level, I don't see anything else but a continued downward... — read more

I'm not staying for what's to come

I've been on the fence about leaving for a few months and this week I finally made my decision: it's time to leave. I won't badmouth the company. Yes, things have changed but I've spent too many good years here to not appreciate what I once had. No... — read more

I hope it's a false alarm

I hear some rumors about layoffs again. I hope it's just a malicious fabrication. Any insights?

Elliot's back, not good news

Elliot wields a sharp ax! Look out, they will want to get that employee count back down to 7500 like they did in 2017.

Elliot is back?

Hearing that Elliot is back and demanding increasing valuation and stakeholders returns, again. Is it true or rather a gimmick to improve the stock price that has taken a beating over the last few quarters? If Elliot news is true, it brings back... — read more

I don't think they need layoffs

Judging by this board and the people I know, all they need is to ask for volunteers. Plenty will be happy to jump at the opportunity to get paid to walk away from this place. That way everybody would be happy - those who want to leave and those who... — read more

Writing on the wall - 'Winter is coming'

Fellow co-workers, start applying outside if you have not already. There is a high probability of massive layoffs in the next 6 months. Only if the board decides to remove DavidH, it may give a bit of time but that will not happen right away. I see... — read more 

Forecasting Issue?

On this morning's call, David mentioned a couple of time about a forecasting issue. He didn't say that it was directly related to this but he seemed to indicate that he was displeased about how the forecast was missed. When was the last time Finance... — read more 

Congratulations! We did it (CTXS is <100)

The results are out. Market never lies. Congratulations leadership, on the amazing achievement and ruining a great company. The conservative and lower than last years’ target is also missed. WTF!!! For heavens sake, don’t bankrupt the company and... — read more 

Layoffs beginning in August

The collapse of the stock and disastrous quarterly results means layoffs are a certainty in August. They will have multiple waves to stay below the WARN act but theses layoffs will hurt. Good luck if you haven’t already jumped this sinking ship of... — read more 

Is HR spamming your LinkedIn profile?

Hi Is it only me that has HR spamming my LinkedIn profile, time over time over time? It is almost like they want to know if I am open for a new role. Why would Citrix look at my profile on a weekly basis otherwise? Should I take that as a hint that... — read more

Global Finance VP Gone?

Global Finance VP Gone? You know, the one with the bouffant hair? That person was dug in like a mississippi tick. Why would a VP with 17 years here leave voluntarily?

Why hire just to fire?

I've seen several people so far - all young folks - hired and then fired (or laid off or whatever) within a few months of joining the company. Why would we do that? They were not bad workers, they were just still in the learning/adjusting phase. I... — read more 

Complete burnout

Great place to work survey.

Survey is out. Give an honest response. Are you really happy with the way things are? Was the shared success enough? Is there something they could change? The workload has ramped up since pandemic and it hasn't stopped. Not seeing much extra in... — read more 

I guess everybody can get a job here these days

We recently got a new team member after two people quit about a month ago. First of all, it took the company a full month to get one replacement for two people. Second of all, that person wouldn't know how to pour pi-s out of a boot if the... — read more 

Bad decisions

I am so glad I left Citrix. The decisions leadership are making are very dangerous. When Covid hit Citrix should of been one of the most booming companies. Instead there true colors showed. The decisions this company has made in acquisitions is... — read more 

Poll Time: Citrix's Strategy (or Lack of it)

There are many to count but which one according to you is the biggest strategic mistake by Citrix leaders? Option 1. Selling GoTo to LogMeIn (Only if we would not have sold the GoTo group, the stock would have been 300+ by now. Check out... — read more 

Why was there no pandemic bo-m?

It may be sound ugly, but the pandemic was a kind of an opportunity for Citrix to make a bigger bo-m. However, this did not happen, because the top dogs do not have much vision, so they failed to take advantage of that momentum. It is a... — read more 

Stuck in the past

The core business is almost completely neglected and this company is becoming desperately stuck in the past. When I talk to colleagues who work in some competing companies, it happens there too, but the problem is nowhere as big as here. I just don’t... — read more
