Great company to work for

Pros

Calix is an exceptional company to work for, embodying a remote-first culture that fosters trust in its employees. The flexibility to manage personal errands, attend appointments, or simply take a break for a walk during the day is a benefit I have not experienced before. The people at Calix are the cornerstone of its outstanding culture. They are considerate of fully booked calendars and mindful of different time zones, ensuring meetings are scheduled within working hours for all participants. I foresee a long and fulfilling tenure with Calix.

Cons

While every company has its challenges, Calix has experienced significant growth over the past few years, which naturally brings about change, especially in the ever-evolving telecom industry. This is a fast-paced environment, and it may not be suitable for everyone. Calix is improving in building career development paths for each role, but having a clearer understanding of potential advancements would be beneficial for employees seeking growth and career establishment.

Pros

Great work-life balance, unlimited PTO (encouraged to use it), great benefits and perks, and good people to work with. Every day is a different challenge which keeps the job fun.

Cons

Some of the processes are lack-luster or non-existent so it can get frustrating; the fast-paced nature of the role and the constant evolution and expansion of the company can become difficult to manage/keep up with.

Pros

The culture at Calix cannot be beat. Every employee is willing to help one another and truly cares for one another. The benefits at Calix (unlimited time off, recharge/no meeting days, wellness reimbursement, etc.) are so beneficial for work-life balance and avoiding potential burnout.

Cons

As we are a growing company, there can be some clunkiness with our processes; however, we are consistently working towards process improvement across the organization.
