      Pros

      - Good benefits - Surrounded by skilled and smart people

      Cons

      A Lot: - Good strategy, but poor execution. Constant losses with supposedly "award-winning products". - Constant layoffs & disruptive changes. Some people may think that is good, but it affects work environment negatively. Cannot recommend anyone to work here . - Cannot win markets while constantly laying off old-timer employees who helped built this company. Most of them have now found better jobs if you look at their Linkedin. If they wouldn't have skills, they wouldn't have found those better jobs. - Lower compensation than market rates

      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.
