Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review on your experience as a Calix employee. It is great to hear that you feel fairly compensated and are taking advantage of our many benefits/perks we offer to our employees! Calix is currently in a state of growth as we aim to transform the way our customers support their communities. Our interview process is designed to give our candidates a closer look into Calix, the role, and the role’s purpose, and we ask our interviewers to be transparent and honest when asked questions. Due to this rapid growth, priorities and objectives can quickly shift to meet the needs of the business. This can sometimes result in teams pivoting suddenly and working towards a new goal. Our leaders should be regularly communicating the 'why' behind shifting priorities to make sure their teams fully understand the vision. Please feel free to reach out to your leader or Talent and Culture Business Partner to further address any concerns you may have. We appreciate the feedback you have provided at this time!

Pros

Company continues to re-invent itself to the market needs. Company has always focused on providing solutions for unified Access networks and smart premises. There is enough challenging work for those who enjoy such an environment. Working in a company of this size, you can own and influence much larger domain, giving you ample opportunity to grow.

Cons

Geographically distributed teams across many timezones. On other hand, that helps keep the wheels moving almost 24x7!

Pros

Excellent culture that embraces work from home and collaboration. Strong and thoughtful leadership Very bright future with tons of upside for people that want to be their best!

Cons

We're all stretched and more reactive than we would like to be. That's happening because we're growing rapidly and scaling a business needs people. We're hiring the best to join us!
