Pros

Dynamic company that is looking to create something really great. If you are ready to be creative and find new solutions this is great place. Very work from home friendly.

Cons

Company is still improving with keeping its remote workers connected. Lots of work to be done on taking the company to the next level so that means a lot of rolling changes to how the company is organized.

Pros

I have been with Calix for 15 years and over that time I have seen a lot of change. I have been fortunate during my time here to work in a few different groups and learn SO much about myself and my career. Calix as a culture is all about pushing ourselves to the next thing. Whether that is pushing into a new role in the company or into a new market. We have been through a giant shift over the past few years from a hardware to software company. That change wasn't for everyone and it was difficult at times. However, the leadership team guided us through this transition and we are now poised for amazing things. If you want to be at a growth company helping our customers transform their business (and don't mind some hard work) then Calix is for you!

Cons

Change is hard, and we've been through a lot of it over the past few years. That means making hard decisions about people who might not be a good cultural fit going forward. One of our key tenets is "we take care of our own". That means when someone is struggling we as a culture lift them up. However, that also means holding each other accountable and if you want a job that is the same all the time then this isn't the place for you.
