Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I experienced a brutal interview with Citrix. Recruiter calls me and tells me I am a great fit for the role. Matter of fact I was because I had worked on similar products as a developer and then moved into marketing for similar products but for a competitor. It took 2 weeks to set up the phone screen.
It then took several reschedulings because the hiring boss was apparently busy. I was then asked to call him. I get his cell and the quality of the call is crackling at best. I guessed he was driving. He starts cautiously - walk me through your career progress. My career progression is amazing but he probed every transition like it was a major blunder. Then we get talking about products, markets - what are the trends. What do you think about our products. That is where I lose him. I didn't know the citrix guys dont like Gartner. Citrix was not a leader in the product area I was interviewing. I quote Gartner for something and that must have pissed this guy off. Interview over. He curtly ends it. Any questions. I ask him something. Shortest answer you can possibly imagine. I then ask what are your revenues like. He says you checked out the Gartner report. Ask them. They've got the numbers. Ouch! Call over. Duh! He couldn't have sounded more impolite.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Dublin, County Dublin (Ireland) (took 4 weeks)
Applied online and 4weeks later a recruiter called me.
Got a 2h written tech test - they actually asked you about everything!! dns, tcp, ethernet, troubleshooting scenarios, and type of fermi questions!!!! the test was 3 different docs - 1st was about 50questions on different technologies, 2nd was 4-5 troubleshooting scenarios and last doc was logical thinking..
Been invited onsite for a 1-to-1 interview - could not understand a word the guy was saying (he was non-native english speaker) and maybe he was offended I kept asking him to repeat. He wanted every single bit of details in your answer - like if you were talking to a 5 yo kid!!! whatever you said, he kept interrupting you!

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took a day)
They just asked me simple questions, like what is paging, what are volatile members, difference between threads and process.
But each question , they go in details.
like if u define volatile members as "it tells compiler that the variable can be accessed by multiple threads simultaneously." He then asks you how the compiler is informed. What does the compiler do after that. something like that.
Another thing is , they ask you to share a google doc file and gives you 2 programming questions to write in C or C++. mine was string reversing and binary search. pretty simple bt you have to take care of the test cases.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 3 days)
The interview process consisted of an initial phone interview. Once that went over well I had three panel interviews and one 1:1 interview. The questions were mostly behavioral and the one on one was mainly analytical and consisted questions of brain teasers and riddles to rest my problem solving skills.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took 3 weeks)
The phone interview was fairly easy and straightforward with the hiring manager. The next step was to the panel interview. Citrix has a special room for this. There's a U-shaped table. You sit on one side. The interviewers, 3-4 of them, sit on the other side. The interviewers have a set script of questions that the interviewee is asked. The questions weren't super tough; they are an attempt to get folks who are the "best fit" and were definitely unexpected (which made them tough).
They did make a pretty quick decision. I believe them when they say they're looking for employees who are the best fit. The interviewers seemed to be intelligent and intense, but friendly. My sense overall was that the intelligence level with the organization is pretty high (which is unusual in South Florida).

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 days)
It was very average , low level skills test and the company failed to follow up
They have a mess with their internal HR system . I've been interviewed for 4 different positions at the same time and they've asked the same pre-screening questions over and over .The phone (technical ) interview is very easy if you know their products but the entire process is very long and bad managed .

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Bethesda, MD (took a day)
Talked to a total of 3 people: 2 interviewers and 1 person casually in the lobby. I had a great conversation with the person the lobby and mainly asked her questions about the organization, culture, and training process at Citrix. We had a casual conversation as well and it made me very comfortable going into the interviews. The first person I talked to was very interested in my team experiences in college and I had a great time describing them. The second person I talked to was also interested in my team experiences and had a list of more formal questions to ask about them. Wish I could have spent more time during my interview but it was cut short.
