Citrix Systems|Citrix Reviews

Pros

This is the most dynamic place to work that I've experienced over my 20+ years in Information technology. Citrix recruits and keeps some of the smartest people in their field of expertise. The work environment is positive and casual. Top that off with the fact that we're an industry leader and you have the ideal place to work.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like the company is moving so fast that it's hard to keep up! But thanks to the fact that they support training and learning, this is hardly a problem.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep moving in the right direction! We're all helping to meet and exceed the company vision and strategy.

Pros

Benefits and Salary are in line with average, work/life balance is good. To get ahead it takes more game play than it does hard work.

Cons

Citrix no longer strives to be the best employer, they are happy being in the middle. Yearly raises are low, compared to previous years.

Advice to Senior Management

Lead from the top, demonstrate the qualities that it takes to be a good people manager and spend time focusing and consolidating the company direction. The lack of focus of the entire organization is evident when you look deep down.

Pros

Ability to work from home. I'm able to balance personal and professional life. Great medical benefits, tuition reimbursement, the people at Citrix are friendly and nice to work with.

Cons

There are sometimes few advancement opportunities, and there are a lot of deserving and qualified individuals. Despite this, I personally feel this is a good company to work for.

Advice to Senior Management

When new products or features are launched, there should be a training process that is always parallel to the launch dates.
