      Pros

      A company that is full of middle managers in India and the US. The release management team is unique in the world, in that it is made up of managers only. Excellent growth opportunities for managers who quickly become directors and VPs. Even senior software engineers switch to management due to their preference for middle managers.

      Cons

      Many technically skilled people have left the company, and others have switched to management, hence the load on those few remaining engineers has increased significantly. These days releases are planned on weekends and the remaining engineers are expected to work without any overtime pay.

      Pros

      Calix has an excellent company culture where employees genuinely support one another. The collaboration across departments is one of its biggest strengths, making it easy to work together toward common goals. The company also offers a great work-life balance and promotes a flexible, respectful work environment that allows employees to be productive while maintaining their personal lives.

      Cons

      Compensation could be more competitive, especially for non-Sales roles, as responsibilities grow. Advancement opportunities can also be limited for certain departments, making it challenging for employees looking for long-term career progression within the company.
