EMPLOYEE SPEAK
On structures at R&D India:
"You can approach everyone. There is no hierarchy.
There is no micro-management here. They trust and believe in you. "
On working in a world class organisation:
"We are measured against customer input and feedback and not by what our managers think. Feedback is an open channel; the loop is very tight, and turnaround times are quick. Working here means interaction across geographies, products and cultures. "
On facilities at R&D India:
"Great food, door-to-door cab, broadband... Attention is paid to every demand or complaint, and feedback is taken very seriously. Within an hour of stepping in, even an intern is completely hooked up with a laptop, email, access to Dazzle..."
On “Work Hard, Play Hard, Get Results and Have Fun Doing It.’
"Importance is given to maintaining a work-life balance. Marathons, photography... the company is supportive of things beyond work, and of life beyond the office. Everything is driven by results – whether you work for two hours or 20, it doesn’t really matter."
On recruitment and referral:
"The best colleges and the best hires make for very low attrition rates. You want to work... come back... stick around... I went through several tests – and 5 rounds of interviews – both local and with the US. It was very rigorous."
On Simply Serve:
"The company encourages you to take the day off and help, and then matches your efforts. We went to an orphanage for girls in RT Nagar – spent the day with the children and took them to Bannerghatta National Park. It was memorable. I still see the smiles on the children’s faces."
On ‘Simplicity is Power’:
"Our products are simple – from installation to usage – this is powerful.
Citrix comprises diverse products, with their own architecture and design. This is a period of maturity and consolidation."
On why they like working here:
"You have the power to do things your own way and achieve results; from customer interactions, to finding solutions to problems. That’s satisfying.
There’s exposure to business leaders with different visions, and the opportunity to make their vision true."
