      Incredible talent, innovative leaders and great culture and benefits

      Pros

      I truly love the focus on our culture and the health and well-being of our employees. While we work hard, they know it's also important to have a healthy work-life balance and we're encouraged to prioritize our health, family and time away. Working remotely is also a great benefit and since they've been doing it since before the pandemic, they really know how to do it right. The people I work with are some of the most talented, committed people I know and our customers are also passionate about what they do which makes our work meaningful.

      Cons

      We don't get to meet each other in person very often and because we are innovating at such a fast pace, we're are always improving processes and products, meaning you have to adapt very very quickly sometimes.

      Overall Good Company, but not for Work Alcoholics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Its been 1.5 yrs here. The small sweet company. I usually stay away from internal company politics, but in Calix I could not sense it happening here. Work Wise - I will say it is an average company. For BNG ( Border Network Gateway) team, it is a great company, but as far as core routing is concerned they rely on 3rd party protocol stack, so you wont get an opportunity on the core routing work. However, they started to make their mark in routing segment also, expanding the routing team and trying to adopt to inhouse core routing development as on Nov 2024. Parity : Since the customers now requesting routing features on Calix products, the routing parity is huge. Routing Component is very basic and minimal. Work pressure - Almost non-existent. Seldom does it peak during releases, else chill life. Culture: Great. The HR team looks after that all events/festivals are recognised and celebrated. Small stable company (25 yrs old ) but started office in India 3 yrs ago. WFH - Hybrid, twice a week recommendation. They provide all the necessary accessories you need to setup home work-station. Cab facility for free. Free Lunch for free.

      Cons

      No Salary hike since 1.5 yrs. I was given Good hike on joining, so I understand they may take a year or two for the next hike. No C-suite official in Bangalore. They occasionally visit India. Gives used or cheaper quality laptops to work force. Dont provide licensed software to be used by employees. Employes often end up using cracked version when they see no choice. Internal Development Servers are slow and Suck ! No Udemy subscription yet, despite giving feedback multiple times. They are stuck with useless coursera. Small Space. If even 50% strength comes to offc, offc get crowded. They are looking for a bigger offc.
