We are grateful for your feedback on your experience as a Calix employee. We take pride in our employee health, lifestyle and wellbeing benefits. We are glad that you are enjoying them as well! When working with others across the globe, time zones can make it difficult to connect during standard business hours. We are committed to continuing to discuss how we can ‘create, communicate and collaborate’ and minimize the impact on personal lives. We value feedback around management and will be hosting focus groups locally to further discus and identify action plans.

Pros

A terrific environment where one has the ability to develop their strategy, build the plan and execute it. Calix fosters an openness to challenge thinking, be creative and change the game. If you love to drive change, work in an environment where continuous learning is encouraged and expected and the pace is flat out, this is the place for you.

Cons

Need to have the ability to adapt and pivot as required. Need to embrace change and accept resiliency needed to thrive in that environment.
