Pros

Calix has some of the greatest and loyal employees. Some teams allow you to work remote. They have free drinks.

Cons

VERY top heavy! New executives coming in and others are jumping ship. Calix is in the middle of changing their focus. Some groups have amazing leaders and executives but a few other ones do not. The culture is hostile in some areas. Know what your waling into!

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.
