The actions of this week are not the end unfortunately. I can tell you with certainty there will be a second wave, either in December or in Q1/Q2 2018 depending on how the current strategy plays. The current layoffs were about the stock price -... — read more

Still too many people
Goodbye Santa Barbara
It was a tough day in California. They closed the whole office- THAT DAY. We knew it was coming but it didn't mean less when it happened. Congratulations to everyone that made it through. December is supposed to be another massive one- and while I... — read more
Resume Service
Can anyone here recommend (based on personal experience) a worthwhile service for revamping and updating my resume? Been at Citrix for so long I feel like I'm a bit out of the loop on current resume trends, tips and tricks. Thank you, friends.
It's not the end of the world. Get up and stop crying
I'm going to be very frank with everyone who lost their job; be an adult and move on. I don't work for Citrix, but I have been laid off before. Get on UC immediately, start writing that resume, and blast it to recruiters. I guarantee (unless you're... — read more

I'm relieved
I got let go yesterday too. Did any of you get exit interviews? I'll be talking to HR today and don't know what to expect. I've never been through this before. If there is an exit interview, are any of you being honest about your experience? My... — read more
Are we sure this is over?
Are we sure the layoffs will not continue today? I'm still stressed out from yesterday. I managed to survive, but watching so many of my friends and coworkers be escorted out... Having trouble sleeping right now, keep thinking that it might not be... — read more

Too exhausted to look at Citrix layoffs anymore
This week has been an emotionally exhausting experience . The roller coaster of Citrix is still not over if you read between the lines of the DH email. I cant shake the feeling that more actions are coming as Elliott is not done with hacking the... — read more
Still standing. Still my dream job.
I love Citrix. Always have. Been here over 10 years. I'm very sorry some of you lost your jobs. You'll land in your feet if you have drive and ambition - and you'll look back on this as a learning experience. Good luck to all of you.
Australia
What’s happening in AUS? I heard a lot of people are getting affected there as well.
Senior level people
From the people I know that were let go many were senior level and also many were long lived employees, many with extremely important internal roles. Some teams were only partially affect but losing those senior people will be a huge blow.

Leave your review on Glassdoor: don't let anybody else be tricked into this nightmare
After the awful day we went through and (god only knows) what's coming tomorrow... I feel it's my civic duty to have Glassdoor reflect the real atmosphere that employees experience in Citrix, instead of that fake "Approve of CEO 95%":... — read more
Why wonder when you can ask?
Because you don’t get a straight answer, that’s why! At least the share price hasn’t gone up and to the right so far.
If you are laid off you will be okay.
Get up and dust the Citrix ashes and move on. Study, get on the jobs boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, Dice. Not a lot of them because you will be burdened with multiple calls for the same job. If your spouse has medical insurance and you get cobra be... — read more
Impacted, but not disappointed
Citrix provided great work flexibility and compensation...but, way too much turnover in the leadership team, very ineffective HR (that's not unusual), and not a healthy environment for most... Beyond the above positives, it is telling when the best... — read more

Anyone know if consulting has been spared?
You CAN make it with severance
I feel for all of you. I've been caught in a layoff before. What I found is that life does go on and you can survive this. With severance and/or unemployment, you can make it, but you have to cut your budget to "needs" only- food, home, water... — read more

Thankful I got out when I did
I left Citrix in June. After being there for a year- it felt like 10 years. I was emotionally and physically exhausted. We worked from 8am to 6:30 sometimes 7pm. I wasnt valued as an employee, they only cared about the bottom line. I looked for jobs... — read more
