      Pros

      People - I have found the people at calix genuinely care about and like their jobs. Very collaborative environment and access to executives is great, giving you a view of the bigger picture, and reinforcing your sense of contributing. Benefits - Medical is good comparatively speaking, PTO is unlimited, but your sense of purpose is strong that you really don't want to take off, Lots of great opportunities to invest back into the company via stock programs. Compensation is good and coupled with the benefits, Calix the best company I have worked for.

      Cons

      no cons, a few things to work on but really don't have anything bad to say.

      Pros

      Culture, Teammates, Fully Remote, Benefits, Leadership, Resources. Having come from a fairly small company previously, it is an amazing thing to have access to the resources provided at Calix, and the flexibility that remote work offers was a major incentive for my decision to join Calix.

      Cons

      There is a lot to learn, and being fully remote can make that challenging. But that is largely offset by the amount of documentation available as well as having multiple tools that allow for easy collaboration with your team.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Autonomy - Always question the current way of doing things (better, better, never best) WIllingness / Openness cross-functionally (which is a challenge at a corporate level). Diversity - encourage diversity in personality, industry backgrounds, very diverse group of individuals Good values (support small BSP's+under served communities+sustainable energy) Focus on providing classes for skill growth + mental health

      Cons

      Cons are associated w/Growing pains - remote work makes it hard to train new employees, knowledge base still being iterated on. Many acronyms Also most of these positive reviews are from newer employees (still in the honeymoon phase) - read some from more veteran employees for a better idea.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review on Calix! At Calix, we believe that our employees should feel supported and empowered to work autonomously to achieve their goals. We are so glad that you have experienced this throughout your time with us! As we grow, we continue to collect feedback from our employees on their experiences. Based on this feedback, the Learning and Development team is currently revamping our Employee Onboarding Program. We know remote work has many perks and challenges, so we are enhancing our onboarding program to ensure a seamless experience for new employees. Additionally, we have started quarterly Meet Up Groups for all major cities in North America with more than ten employees. This program was put into place to increase a sense of community and belonging for our remote first work force. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other feedback, we appreciate hearing from our employees!
