Business Outlook

Pros

As an accountant, I'm trained to possess professional skepticism. During my career, I've heard all the time from companies that want to implement systems and process improvement. In my interviews with the management team at Calix prior to joining three months ago they said the same thing. I can attest that this company commits budget and resources to those things with strategies to follow through. Not just lip service.

Cons

The biggest challenge with so many great initiatives is to figure out what not to do first.
