Former Employee – worked at Citrix Systems full-time for more than a year

Pros – Working for Citrix as a Technical Support Engineer has been the hardest job that I have ever had, beside serving 4 years in the Air Force at a remote base straight out of high school. This position, Technical Support Engineer has been a challenge. No one support call is the same because every call is a different company’s network environment to troubleshoot with unforeseen and unpredictable supported or non-supported Citrix variables. Sometimes customer are the worlds brightest minds of various company’s IT Administrators who have Citrix issues that they are not able to resolve and sometimes customers are entry level IT Professionals with zero Citrix experience.

Any job seeking IT Professional looking to push yourself to the limit and find out what you are truly made, I challenge you to join the Citrix Team. You will work very, very, very hard and you will be given the chance to learn so much more than you can image. If you can last making it through the frontline long enough to reach that state of Total XEN (ZEN), i.e. that state where every call seems to be about the same type of issue that’s easily resolvable with just a little hard work, then I would say you have arrived at the point of being ready to spread your wings and fly. Fly to the next stage in your IT Career.

Don’t get me wrong the Technical Support Engineer position will challenge you Technically pushing to and sometimes far above and beyond your Technical Proficiency breaking point as it did me time and time again, but once your skills have been fine-tuned you’ll be ready to take on any Citrix Related issue.

For those IT Job seekers wanting a challenge and job that will always keep you thinking, this is the position for you.
For those IT Job seekers wanting a job where change is constant and staying up to speed on current technologies is your motto, this is the position for you.
For those IT Job seekers wanting to just simply give their IT Career a million dollar boost within a good, stable company, then Citrix is the place for you.

Speaking personally, after making it through 1 year and 5 months of service on the frontline supporting XenDesktop, Provisioning Server, EdgeSight Server and most recently VDI-in-a-Box, I was offered the opportunity to work as a Fulltime Permanent Citrix Administrator for a very large and well known employer in the Atlanta Metro Area. It is true, hard work and dedication does pay off, at least it did for me in my case and it can for you too.

My point is this, you think you’re good, but Citrix will make you better.
You think you have troubleshooting down pat, but Citrix will teach you the true Science of troubleshooting.
Apply for the Technical Support Engineer position(s) on the Citrix job portal when they become available and I guarantee you will learn more than what you ever thought possible. The DevA Team, Team Leads and Managers along with other Frontline Support Engineers are all very, very, very smart, know their stuff and will help make your Citrite experience a memorable one.

Yes Citrix gets my vote as a good employer to work for, good place to learn, grow and Polish your IT Skills.

Pros – Great benefits and HR support. Some teams have a good level of autonomy. Corporate communications have greatly improved.

Cons – Reorganizations to the nth degree, often leaving employees fearful and protective of their jobs and knowledge. In some divisions, employees do not feel safe saying what's on their mind in case they are labeled "negative."

Advice to Senior Management – Back up what you say with actions. Each SVP should do a thorough review of what every team under them is doing each year because in many cases, they don't know who's working for them and the value they bring to the company.

Pros – The working atmosphere is pleasant with a great company culture and well managed. The technology is best on the market and loved by its customers. Employees are well trained and given a good view of strategic directions.

Cons – Turnover can be high in certain regions due to lack of advancement opportunities. Following the Netscaler acquisition the "family" feeling and the "startup mentality" that I liked in the job started slowly to change. The company felt less nimble and personal.

Advice to Senior Management – Look internally for good emplyees first. Don't lose sight of the culture that has made Citrix a great company. Continue to invest in your employees. Keep up the good work.
