Pros

Great Benefits, Work from Home Great hard working co-workers whom point in more than 50hrs a week

Cons

Absolutely no career development. The job you interview for is not what you are going to be doing. 90% of the job description is incorrect. Talent and Culture needs HR employees whom can revamp the Talent Management and create Employee Engagement (because there isn't any). There is also no line of succession. If someone leaves or is laid off. Good Luck! Many talented employees whom once helped build the company are now gone and left are Senior Management whom have no idea how to get the job done. Too many Directors and VPs and not enough team to support the initiatives. NO Raise in the past few years. "Bonus" is a joke! NO Job Security - There are lay offs every 2 weeks. NO Vision or Direction Company Morale is at its all time worse. Not surprise why so many are also leaving the company.

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.
