      They’ll Reel You In… - Anonymous employee Calix Employee Review

      Pros

      Work from anywhere culture paired with enticing benefits makes for a job offer that’s hard to resist. You’ll probably look at Glassdoor and go “wow! Super high rating and everyone loves them, I’m definitely taking this job!”

      Cons

      Oh how wrong you’d be. Calix is well known for their revolving door of new hires and “layoffs” to the point where it can appear as if their HR staff exists purely to hire and fire. People you just met seem to disappear with no explanation. There’s always shuffling of people, titles, and priorities to hide behind when in reality, the company lacks stability at its core. If you are not part of the rah rah culture that is obsessed with LinkedIn or willing to flatter management regardless of the quality of their work or ideas, you’ll quickly be out of the clique. Everything is just perfect at Calix, don’t you know? Pointing out anything to the contrary is not allowed. Beware the reviews - management pushes HARD for their employees to leave positive reviews with multiple reminders and messaging that not so subtly sways those with concerns to stay quiet.

      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.
