Pros

There used to be Pros, no longer really.

Cons

Beware this company just "downsized" and "restructured" on 4/17/19 which laid off 75% of the Dallas sales staff and account managers with no options to work elsewhere within the company. Many have been there 5+ years. New jobs posted a week later for the same positions (lower pay, lower costs to the company, no life insurance, medical and dental benefits are more costly for the new staff as well) This used to be a great place to work at and build a career. The CEO is nice but there is a huge disconnect with corporate and accounting being in San Jose and the front lines of sales, support and marketing and the managers being in Dallas. For the past 2 years, new management was brought in to better the company by cleaning house of experienced hard working individuals who have committed themselves to the company and helped this company get to where it was. There is too much power with individuals who have not been there for more than two years, with one goal in mind to build profit. Your employment experience is one of fear. No apparent regard for anything positive an employee may have contributed or possibility of salvage. You can literally come to work and find out you no longer have a job even if you are meeting the demands or exceeding the demands and your track record and employment history is good. Toss people out with little regard. Favoritism to new employees that are brought on from previous business relationships or friends. The core products have fallen way behind in technology and it is extremely difficult to compete with other cutting edge solutions. it is only a matter of time before a hard-earned client eventually leaves to be successful with another solution. Look at the reviews, the negative reviews are all true and the positive reviews are probably fake to try to compensate. Sinking ship!

You'll be blamed for something you didn't do as soon as you leave

Pros

Great place to work if you don't want a life or a serious career. Great place to work of you want to be under paid and under employed. Great place to work if you want to work on old technology and can't learn anything new. Be prepared to work in an ol' boys culture, in a silo, where you'll either be shown the door or get lip service if you offer any original thought.

Cons

Great place to work if you're OK with just going with the status quo. Management is a bunch of power hungry non-performers. Company violates HR laws on a constant basis. The manager I worked for told me that I was not allowed to question his decisions which were based on his huge ego. Rude and disrespectful to his workers. Company run by foreign nationals who are only here to make money and ship it to their mother country with no respect for the USA where their livelihood comes from.

The Place Where Careers Go To Die

Pros

Really easy to get a paycheck without doing much work.

Cons

Your professional work ethic and career will waste away at Calyx. I work literally 30 minutes a day. I thought maybe my position was an outlier, but I soon realized that the majority of other employees barely worked too. It was nice at first. I thought I had hit the jackpot with such a cushy job, but then I realized that my actual talent and ability was eroding away. Most of the employees are quite talented and smart at Calyx. They've all realized they just have to look busy when the boss looks their way.
