Calix Network/System Engineer II reviews

I left prior to a re-org that had me on the fence about the direction the company was heading. There were many knee-jerk high-level decisions made to go "all-in" in one direction, only for it to cause more issues than it resolved. Rather than management learning from the mistakes made, they were "rip the band-aid off quick" and terminate lower-level employees to cover the costs. The company felt like it transitioned from the best in the industry to one that wasn't sure where it was headed, and solely led by marketing to sell products and services that just weren't there yet. The buzzwords being thrown around were lean and agile but honestly, that was just everyone working 80 hour weeks along with Saturdays with no extra compensation. There were times when we were asked to blow money before quarter-end, only to lay people off the following week. That was the straw that broke the camels back with me.
