Pros

The culture at Calix cannot be beat. Every employee is willing to help one another and truly cares for one another. The benefits at Calix (unlimited time off, recharge/no meeting days, wellness reimbursement, etc.) are so beneficial for work-life balance and avoiding potential burnout.

Cons

As we are a growing company, there can be some clunkiness with our processes; however, we are consistently working towards process improvement across the organization.

Pros

* most employees are remote - no hybrid requirement that I'm aware of * supportive work environment from leadership and peers

Cons

* a bit disorganized in terms of planning due to the rapid release nature of the organization - seems like we're always playing catch up * due to the teams being globally distributed it's quite challenging to maintain communication and to work efficiently

Pros

Learn New technologies: Networking, ML/AI, GCP/AWS, lot of automation Great Management team and Managers Cab Facilities (Home pickup and drop), flexible timings. Only 2 days office / week.

HR is cooperative and does not poke you much Lots of Outreach Program Talented teammates to work with and learn from. Free Breakfast, Lunch, evening snacks Reimburse Internet bills, they give you 3months/ 6months token gifts Latest Macbook with ample gadgets to help you work smooth you can get Calix RG device to test on directly Not so many late night meetings if you are not Lead in team or Manager.

Cons

very small cafeteria Wash room is miserably small for the number of people that go to office Salary is okish not that high like other Mid tire companies .Yet I can't say its less than market standard. Lots of Contractors from Infosys and HCL , makes it chaotic to manage After lunch they always shut down the AC's at the R&D side . I don't know what fetish is that . We are tired complaining Need many more meeting rooms My biggest heartbreak , NO RSU's . there is only ESOPS
