Pros

Remote work. Happy customers, for the most part. Everyone seems to be working to make the company great. No shortage of technology tools made available to employees. Employees are encouraged to create solutions. Very transparent and candid communications from senior executives all the way down the line.

Cons

Compensation is 10 to 15% below market rates, but with the money saved from remote work and fairly good benefits, it can be worth it. There are some internal power dynamics across teams that can occasionally get in the way of smart decisions. The multiple technologies actually create some overlap and fragmented communications. Can be difficult to find what you are looking for. For a people leader, there is more administrative work than should be needed for a company of this size.

Pros

Calix has an excellent company culture where employees genuinely support one another. The collaboration across departments is one of its biggest strengths, making it easy to work together toward common goals. The company also offers a great work-life balance and promotes a flexible, respectful work environment that allows employees to be productive while maintaining their personal lives.

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive, especially for non-Sales roles, as responsibilities grow. Advancement opportunities can also be limited for certain departments, making it challenging for employees looking for long-term career progression within the company.
