      Great to learn and read that our recruiting continues to invest in our applicants with phone screens. Our hiring leaders are hands-up and front and center for each and every hire on their team. We know talent today has projects from school experience to work experience to share … we all have lessons to be learned of our proud accomplishments and also our more tough learning experiences! Thanks for taking the time to share your interview experience at Calix.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Calix

      Interview

      Very thorough interviewing process. Including the initial phone screening I had a total of ten interviews spanning over about four weeks, both in person and via Zoom. Calix seems to have a excellent procurement team. Everyone was quite knowledgeable and asked excellent questions. I was passed up for the position which was disappointing after investing so much of my time. I requested feedback from the recruiter on why I was passed on, which I think should have been offered to me to begin with. I was told she would request it, to date still no feedback. I find that a bit unprofessional...

      Thank you for your feedback regarding your thorough interview process. We value that cross-functional teams with diverse experience, skill-set and background enables us to have a robust interview process. That said, I will make a point to connect with your recruiting team and hiring leaders that we are providing constructive feedback on why one is not selected for a role at Calix. We don't want one's experience leading up to the final candidate decision to be positive and our last close-out process by one that is not a top-notch experience. Also, thank you for the positive feedback on our supply chain and procurement team. We are proud of this global team and what they make happen each and every day for our customers! Thank you.
