      Pros

      I have found a welcoming home at Calix. Everyone at Calix is committed to serving our customers and prospects with excellence. Close-knit teamwork is the formula for success and our results prove it. Most of our customers are long-time, loyal partners. Calix has a virtual work environment where most work for home offices. We have great communications tools with Zoom, Chatter, Salesforce.com. With many innovative and future-focused products and services the primary challenge is communicating it all to the customer. Calix is great at Marketing to inform and educate the marketplace. I highly recommend Calix to anyone who embraces an environment that provides flexibility, autonomy and opportunity, but require hard work and teamwork.

      Cons

      Hard work and commitment is a must. Calix is not for the faint of heart. If you want a cushy, cruise job, Calix is not it.

      Pros

      Calix has transformed over the last 4 years from a hardware company with an amazing focus on customer success into a cloud, software and hardware company that is focused on ... customer success. That is core to everything the company has done. You feel it from the top down. To achieve that, we have become a fully virtual culture with work-from-anywhere across the company, very transparent from the CEO down with constant communication on the good and bad and a clear focus on hiring and retaining the best talent. I love that part of our culture. The company is all about teamwork, no politics and people having each others backs as we make our customers successful. It is a great team and amazing culture.

      Cons

      We work hard - as a team. If you are looking for a 9-5 job, this is not it. In my entire. career, I have never had a 9-5 job and great teams don't work that way. We are doing hard things, as we change the company - that means commitment. As a company, we are disrupting our industry, which means that we take risks and as we find our way to that new market model, there can be ambiguity. Not everyone is suited for that (It is common in a start-up but less so in a half-billion-dollar company - but it is our reality). Through that we expect team members to help us find that path, make the way and lead the company.
