Pros

Calix really cares about everyone at the Company through great wellness programs, recharge days, training, mentoring, onboarding....This is what I love to see from my employer. The work is challenging and fast moving. It is a healthy environment. I definitely feel like people across Calix care about each other. Compensation and Benefits are fair with a great bonus program. I love the flexibility of the remote work and the latitude my Manager gives me in regard to the times I work. Of course you have to get your work done well, but it is great that I know I make an event at my children's school or take care of other personal matters. Overall I would recommend highly to a friend.

Cons

After moving to a remote workforce (still a positive) there has been some issues with meetings being scheduled throughout the day with no care for people having time to recharge at lunch. There should be a 90 minute blackout between 10:30-Noon (PST) where across the US there are no meetings so people can eat and recharge or something similar. Maybe not every day but at least 3 times a week. I would also say that Meetings are not always well run where there is not an agenda and decision points at the meeting. Overall Meeting reduction is needed in both remote meetings and meetings where attendance is required such as Leadership Meetings. Too much time is spent in meetings where output in the actual job function suffers.

We are thrilled to see that you have had a positive experience as a Calix employee! Calix has a 'remote-first' environment and we realize this can pose challenges when working with team members across multiple time zones. We encourage employees to put their well-being first and ensure they have adequate break times throughout the work day so they can perform at their best! In an effort to support the Calix team, we have implemented 'meeting free' Fridays on a monthly basis (Recharge and Productivity Days) to combat some of the meeting fatigue you mentioned. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss any other ideas you may have to increase productivity at Calix!

Pros

Incredible culture focused on passion, respect for diverse perspectives, and initiatives that foster innovation. Remote work provides outstanding autonomy, allowing you the freedom to own your schedule and deliver results reliably.

Cons

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.
