Pros
Calix is punching way above its weight providing fiber and wireless solutions bringing seamless internet access to residences. Team members are biased towards cooperation rather than competition in developing industry leading innovative solutions for our customers. Management has proven to have great insight into the future of residential access, allowing the teams within Calix to share a common vision of the future and in so doing, create the future. It is exciting to meet with customers who are who are complementing the team on providing what they need to succeed rather than complaining about things that are wrong.
Cons
The downsides of working at Calix in the past do not exist today, for the most part. In the past, department compartmentalization prevented cross fertilization and collaborative working relationships. These barriers have been largely broken down and each department is working together towards a common vision. The success of Calix has lead to a lot of hiring and some new employees may be overwhelmed by how to fit within a team that is moving quickly.
