Pros

Calix offers great benefits and a work from anywhere environment.

Cons

Overall, the culture has shifted some from what I perceived to be a growth mindset culture to something more reactive and toxic. As trust wanes, I'm witnessing more micromanaging, and the pressure is compounding too. I think we need to build more trust with one another, from the top down. Also, there are not enough women in leadership roles/ presenting on calls.

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.
