Vantaggi

Most teams at Calix have a relaxed, people-first culture.

Svantaggi

They offered me 20k under the range posted for the job After layoffs I was expected to complete 4 times as much on call (team of 3 expected to cover 24/7 support) with no additional compensation Poor documentation and testing practices Very inefficient development/release process (but I think it’s improving slowly) Manager/team specific cons: Management will sometimes call me 7/8 pm for non urgent topics that could be discussed the following day. Poor communication. No development plan/ assistance on my career goals

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you have experienced our ‘people-first’ culture as we take great pride in the environment that we create for our employees and the awards that we’ve subsequently won for championing individual and team success. Employee well-being is important to us and we encourage all leaders to respect personal time outside of ‘normal business hours’, though in a global organization, that can be challenging. We’re mindful of the current team’s capacity and are actively recruiting for additional team members to ensure that we have the resources needed to meet our strategic priorities. It sounds like we’ve missed the mark in a few areas regarding team / functional leadership and will pass your feedback along to the team. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback and ‘make us better’ – we care about your experience and your overall wellbeing and would invite you to connect with your Talent and Culture Business to discuss your feedback in more details.

Vantaggi

Decent salary. You'll also quickly gain valuable experience in how not to operate on your next job: a lesson that will serve you well in future roles.

Svantaggi

Old-fashioned work culture where you're expected to execute without question. Excessive overtime work, release cycles are chaotic, and there's little appetite for improving systems or sustainability, it's all about following orders rather than thinking critically.
