Pros

Good vision from the CEO and Chief People Officer. Good attempt to provide a good Life/Work Balance and a good culture. At a high level, the executives are worthy of following. Overall, even with growing pains, a good company to work for

Cons

Some departments are in a constant state of flux, giving the feeling that at the department levels, the overall company vision is lost. Many good, hardworking employees are overlooked for promotions and the more social media active employees are rewarded more favorably. This leads to the feeling that quiet employees aren't appreciated. The overall culture is good, but some departments aren't promoting the company's cultural vision.

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.
