      Solutions Architect Interview

      Apr 9, 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Milwaukee, WI
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Calix (Milwaukee, WI) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      I had 8 interviews and a presentation (9 sessions total). This is pretty typical for Calix--they really want to make sure you'll be a good "cultural fit." Note that they take the Predictive Index (predictiveindex.com), especially the Behavioral Assessment component, very seriously as a factor in the hiring process. If you don't fit one of the "models" relevant to your position, it doesn't mean you won't be hired, but you'd better be able to explain why you will still succeed even if you have a "non-conforming PI." I did have a PI ("Maverick") that raised a concern, but I explained why it wouldn't be an issue--that maturity and self awareness are stronger than my PI designation.
