Pros

Leaders extend a lot of trust to the people they collaborate with. Autonomy is balanced with support to bring new ideas to life! Remote-first environment allows for flexibility and balance and there are so many additional programs offered by the company for employees to feel supported. Compensation is competitive and benefits are great, affinity groups provide a great space for connection in remote first environment, and there are opportunities scattered throughout the year to be able to meet people in person! I've had positive experiences working with everyone I've collaborated with and I think that can be attributed to the culture at Calix. The Talent and Culture team especially is comprised of passionate and driven people who support bringing that culture to life every day!

Cons

None, my experience has been amazing so far!

Pros

Incredibly talented, capable, and thoughtful people. We move fast but with accuracy and respect. It's also a highly innovative place in terms of processes, tools and growth. If you can dream it and make it useful, the team is open and you can build it.

Cons

We move faster than most tech companies. Takes a little getting used to.

Pros

The culture in Calix is outstanding and a huge reason I joined. People are truly collaborative and the company hires based on culture fit as much if not more than experience in a certain area. Lastly, benefits and perks truly support the great culture!

Cons

I don't truly consider this a con, however the company is moving at a breakneck speed and if you are not comfortable with change and being agile, this is not the place for you.
