Pros

Calix has made the shift from a network hardware company to a Software, Services, and Platform company. This shift has allowed Calix professionals, including myself, to develop a host of new skills. Glad I had the opportunity to experience this transition and upgrade my skills. There is an amazing group of highly talented people at Calix that keep it fast-paced and interesting.

Cons

Long hours due to the start-up mentality as we continue the transition.

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.
