      Supportive culture

      Pros

      Great company culture with genuinely supportive and respectful leadership. Strong “startup” energy where ideas are welcomed and employee feedback is actually taken seriously. Leadership is approachable and transparent, which makes a big difference day-to-day. There’s a strong sense that the company truly cares about its employees’ well-being and growth. Compensation is competitive, and there’s a good overall work-life balance, especially for a fast-paced environment. Remote flexibility is also a huge plus.

      Cons

      At times, the workload can be demanding and require longer hours, which comes with the fast-paced, growing environment. However, this is usually balanced out by the flexibility and supportive team culture. Lengthy/Intense interview process but worth the effort if you get hired.

      Pros

      Leaders extend a lot of trust to the people they collaborate with. Autonomy is balanced with support to bring new ideas to life! Remote-first environment allows for flexibility and balance and there are so many additional programs offered by the company for employees to feel supported. Compensation is competitive and benefits are great, affinity groups provide a great space for connection in remote first environment, and there are opportunities scattered throughout the year to be able to meet people in person! I've had positive experiences working with everyone I've collaborated with and I think that can be attributed to the culture at Calix. The Talent and Culture team especially is comprised of passionate and driven people who support bringing that culture to life every day!

      Cons

      None, my experience has been amazing so far!

      Pros

      Incredibly talented, capable, and thoughtful people. We move fast but with accuracy and respect. It's also a highly innovative place in terms of processes, tools and growth. If you can dream it and make it useful, the team is open and you can build it.

      Cons

      We move faster than most tech companies. Takes a little getting used to.
