Pros
The people are the best in the industry. If you're at Calix than you know you're very good at what you do and valued for what you bring to the team. There is awesome camaraderie and energy throughout the company. Great leadership, product solutions, and quality of people. Calix is a very rewarding and frankly a fun place to work. Service Providers, customers new and old are excited about what Calix's End-to-End solutions do for their business and business meetings/discussions are very rewarding. Calix is a great business partner and very forward thinking about the direction of the company and industry. Calix invest significantly in its employees through training whether in person, on-line, and regular webinars. Calix provides the tools for you to get the job done! I appreciate the open communications throughout Calix. Getting random calls from the leadership team asking "what works, what doesn't" demonstrates inclusiveness and is extremely motivating and demonstrates everyone's commitment to individual success. Yes, Calix is a fast paced and a demanding environment. Success does not come easy, and it shouldn't. I love this company, the people, the leadership, it's legacy, and what it's made of. I've been in the industry a long time and Calix is by far the best company I've every been a part. I am so proud to be a part of the Calix team and the journey I've been on the past five years.
Cons
Not necessarily a con, but you better be self motivated and not afraid to jump into the fire. If you like this type of environment than you will thrive here.
