Pros

1. Great Benefits: Lifestyle Reimbursement Plan, free Audible subscription, stock purchase plan, Coursera access, and more. 2. Work from anywhere: Calix is flexible on where you can work. Saves a lot of time if you live far from the office. 3. Flexible work schedule: My manager allows flexibility in our schedules when life events come up. 4. Amazing people: Haven't had any negative experiences with anyone I have worked with.

Cons

As an engineer who works with hands on equipment for a good portion of my work time, I usually go into the office everyday. Because the work from anywhere culture is so strong, there are some employees in my area that I almost never get to see. Most of my team I see pretty regularly, but I don't get to see as many people from other teams which has limited my exposure to other departments within Calix. Therefore, it has been a bit difficult to get a good understanding of everything going on within the company.

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.
