Pros

1. People - They help out whenever we need and understand any issue we are facing 2. Work - Not just regular maintenance work we get a lot of new work is going on so a balanced work to keep your interest high 3. Office - We get good lunch and snacks in office along with company provided cabs for travel to office I switch after 8.5 years of working in my first company so their were all kinds of anxiety and fear for new place, but from my day 1 after joining calix team has shown full support and i did not feel like i am out of place or somewhere new.

Cons

It may take some time for new employees to fully understand the range of offerings, products, and their roles within the company. In some cases, teams operate independently, leading to a lack of awareness about the products they are working on.
