Pros

Great pay, lots of autonomy, wonderful benefits, folks are very friendly, collaborative, and helpful. Super flexible work environment: 100% remote for most and ability to shift hours as needed for life happening. If you're looking for a place that's not cutthroat, accepts new ideas, and has good intentions, you'll love Calix.

Cons

Historical culture of "move fast and break things" can be highly innovative (good) but also creates process bottlenecks and data messes to clean up (bad), This is true of most tech companies, in my opinion, not just Calix. It does not outweigh the pros.

It’s great to know our culture, benefits, and product direction stand out for you! Your perspective on maintaining the Matrix cloud structure and gathering feedback before major changes is truly valuable. We’ll keep listening to the front lines to ensure we strike the right balance as we grow.
