Pros

I'm speaking from the engineering perspective. This may or may not apply to other departments. If you want to retire, and don't want to learn anything new, this is the place. The challenges are not great, the work is very simple. Occasionally there is overtime work, but most of the time it's just 9 to 5.

Cons

Lots of the engineers are very old-schooled, and there's no passion shown towards their work. They don't want to learn anything new, and very comfortable with what they have. Can you imagine, in these days of age, you guys use only C? Not only that, the team is currently too big, too much overhead.

I honestly don't have any cons about working at Calix.

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.
