Pros

Work from home, great benefits, and great people.

Cons

Horrible annual compensation review process and pay increases. You need to negotiate your best pay when interviewing, because you’ll be lucky to get a decent raise after that. Good raises are for Directors and above.

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.
