We value your transparency and input that during your time at Calix your work/life balance was not positive. With a strong percentage of our workforce being virtual and our workplace site team members working in newly renovated worksites, we have received a great deal of positive input regarding our work environments. That said, our transition to an all platform, software and services company took a great deal of effort from our team. We could not have had our successful transformation without a ton of smart people, as you noted, that enabled Calix to be where we are today. Thank you for your contribution!

Remote work is great, but limits team cohesion and relationship building.

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.
