Clear mission for the company in this time of the pandemic crisis.
Pros
As this pandemic ravages our public health and economy the world is relying on broadband networks to continue working and connecting. At Calix EVERYONE feels the satisfaction of being part of a company that has provided the infrastructure that allows millions of homes/businesses/educational-institutions to receive high speed broadband internet. The mission at Calix is clear and the long term prospects for the company are improving. Calix adopted a work-from-home, flexible culture before it was a business necessity brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Engineering teams are lean, but well funded and focused. Visionary executive management that is transforming the company from a classic 'telecom purple box seller' to a systems/software company.
Cons
Poor stock performance over the past ten years since IPO.
