Lateral tip: Ask about the technology during your interview process or else you’ll end up at a firm that makes you use Citrix no matter where you are and it will freeze constantly and every time you try to draft anything it will take you hours longer thanks to lagging and badly implemented plug ins. Might be my biggest quality of life negative at my firm because it impacts my work every single day.

    The proof was in the pudding

    May 9, 2023 - Partner Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    One of the most rigorous sales cultures I ever experienced, definitely some disciplined sales teams. Still have some life long friendships and supportive colleagues. They also had some great benefits.

    Cons

    They took way too much business direct, a double edged sword on the sales culture. They had some unique opportunities to evolve their business models and the csuite sold everyone out. It's beyond tragic what happened to Citrix. The writing was on the wall a good 3 years before it came crashing down. Too many people got greedy and as a channel person, I observed very quickly sales started being dishonest and taking deals direct. And having experienced this at other companies, it ends the same way, not good.

    Company culture going downhill

    May 24, 2023 - Staff Consultant in Denver, CO
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    great managers and coworkers, people actually use lots of PTO

    Cons

    Used to have the culture of a start-up combined with all of the resources and opportunities of a corporate entity, but all budgets have been set to 0 and now all employees are ranked 1-3 every year (1 meaning high-performer, 2 on track, and 3 behind).

    Solid tech on VDI and ADM Existing customers have few options other than Citrix

    Was a great place to work

    Apr 26, 2023 - Business Intelligence Analyst 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - pushed me to learn great skills -very supportive team members and leadership -provided all the top industry tools to get the job done

    Cons

    - forced us to go back to office full time even though the people you collaborated with were mainly in other countries or states. I would have to drive in traffic to open up my laptop in office and get on virtual calls with everyone. - after the merge and acquisition, culture went downhill and they were intentionally making it difficult for workers to push them out the door prior to doing layoffs.

    Pros

    1. Nice peers. 2. You get to go to Ft. Lauderdale for training.

    Cons

    1. Best accounts are already picked over and handled by existing Citrix account managers. 2. Management plays favorites, especially in enterprise where sucking up is part of the game. Forced laughter at bad jokes by the managers and directors. 3. Somewhat of a bro culture.

    Pros

    The only positive thing I have to say about this company is my immediate manager is and amazing person and the people on my team are extremely bright and cool people to work with.

    Cons

    CEO thinks he's babysitting all day. RTO as mandatory is an incredibly non progressive move. Making software to allow people to work remotely and then not encouraging it? Treats everyone like they're toddlers. Compensation packages have become completely downgraded. Stay away from this company.

    Pros

    - Great culture and benefits - work life balance

    - Cronyism and big boy mentality at the c-suite level causes the downfall of this great company - hiring of senior executive based on who you know rather that what you know

    Pros

    Great Pay! Great Benefits! Great Culture! Amazing People!

    Cons

    The only con I would say is that promotion from Manager to Director (and above) is slow due to the lack of opportunity up top.
