      Pros

      Leadership cares about employees. Leadership cares about the customer and their success. Calix does not just pay lip-service. Pay is competitive and benefits are on par. People are good quality and talented. Leadership has vision and shares it to those who are in the trenches moving forward on the front lines.

      Cons

      Nothing that you would not find at any HW/SW company. Many of the issues are the same everywhere, Always have time/resource pressures. Having said that I don't see any "cons" that are unique to Calix. If I was pressed I would say that Sales and marketing has a bit too much sway on influencing committed development plans and schedules. Can be disruptive when "emergencies" arise.

      A company that trusts you to get the job done.

      Pros

      Calix embraces the work from home culture. No managers looking over your shoulder to make sure you get the work done. Flexibility. You can adjust your schedule to fit in anything you may need done. Communication. You would think this would be lacking in a company that's so largely focused on working from home, but I feel very much like I'm part of a team here. Calix prefers to over-communicate, so you never wonder what's going on. Contrary to some previous reviews, I feel that I have a great work-life balance. Most days I don't have to work over 8 hours. I don't feel that I'm expected to be online 24/7. Great pay and GREAT benefits. Majority of the people I have worked with in this company are phenomenal. Passionate about what they do, smart, and amazing to work with.

      Cons

      Meeting overload. You'll be in quite a few meetings, some days having 7-8 hours of meetings. But it keeps you feeling like you're part of a team, not isolated on an island.
