Losing Clients
I work in Citrix sales and was just told a huge part of our workforce will be reduced because customers are bolting after the security breach. Any job leads for IT software sales?
Just good enough
Well the Citrix approach of “ it’s good enough” is catching up to the real world. Look at all the failures in the products and security services. The products are made to be just good enough but never hardened to withstand the real world. The QA... — read more
Is the Santa Clara refurbishment a cover
Rumor has it that the current changes in the Santa Clara buildings are a cover for a much more sinister agenda. The smoke signs say it is just a ruse to upgrade the buildings to make the campus more attractive to any bidder for the campus. The plan... — read more

Worried and need advice
I just started at Citrix and everyone is so mean and cut throat. I am asked to follow this 5 stage process for our dept which is totally lame and not industry standard. Is Citrix usually this formal? The department I work in is in complete chaos and... — read more

The real Baast**ds of Citrix is Netscaler Management
They ran the mafia. They hire people in India, give above market pay and build a kingdom, kill other groups. They are the real Baast**ds of citrix and must be fired. Trump must ensure that these kind of India diplomats who build kingdoms must be... — read more

Upcoming Layoffs (2019)
Reductions will happen 100% sure. Company has hired so many mid-managers and people with none customer facing roles that it is unavoidable, not to mention BrExit. Empires are built in some areas and empires are as we know never lasting. Secondly HR... — read more

Will there be any Citrix Systems Layoffs in 2019?
Engineers too busy looking for missing-in-action SD-WAN 10.1.1?
Citrix can't keep it's cloud up or get out a secure and stable product release. First they announce 10.1 then they pull it. This is just like what happened with NetScaler a few months back. Their products are full of vulnerabilities. They don't test... — read more
Weird security strategy

Who thought making more money would be a problem
when a company pays you higher than every company in the area (do you not know that we just re adjusted and increased salary bands), people are forced to stay. Then when there are layoffs, people are screwed because they will not be able to find jobs... — read more

Why is the Citrix forum so active?
Why is this forum one of the most active on The Layoff? Why do so many people like to bag on Citrix? VMware, a direct competitor, has a board that is dead. Not one post in months. There is something about Citrix that brings this on. What is it?
Not one survey dimension on par with the 100 Best Companies
The dumpster fire rages at Citrix as DK showed Sh--rix does not have even one dimension on par with the 100 Best Companies to work for. Sh--rix failed to place anywhere near the other 100 Best Companies in Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride... — read more
XenApp and App Layering still have relevance
quite possibly the best products Citrix have right now, from a TCO perspective relatively low maintenance and cost effective for companies with legacy windows apps. VDI is less compelling as it costs a fortune to run and usually performance is poor.
October 4 layoffs?
I heard a round of layoffs was slated for Oct 4 in Fort Lauderdale. Specifically the HR manager I overheard mentioned Finance, AP and Procurement. Anyone know the truth of the matter? I am worried for my job.
Oct 8’th is the day of infamy
We are nearing the 1 year anniversary of the great betrayal of Citrix ELT, remember when DH proclaimed there would be no layoffs in August and then promptly did the October layoff. How can we trust ELT anymore? They are probably planning the next... — read more
Citrix Acquisition
No one will buy Citrix whole. It could be broken up and sold. NetScaler has the best chance for getting a good price but Citrix marketing is quickly destroying its brand value. The VDI has value for the customer base but the product is obsolescent... — read more
Lmao. Desktops as a service?
WTH is that? Citrix is desperate to save the stock from collapsing.
Nutanix
Has anyone else heard rumors Nutanix is in talks to buy Citrix? I read an article today that said they are ditching hardware and making a play for the same space as Citrix and since we are a partner it makes sense to buy the IP.
Daas from Citrix
" that we are developing a new cloud-based desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offering with Microsoft " Wow - no dates. No big name with the announcement. Standard citrix vaporware.
