Pros
Working at many smaller, private companies in the past, I was hesitant about whether or not the claims of a positive culture would stand once I was in the thick of it at Calix. I can say now being an established member of the team that there is a level of dedication by both the Talent and Culture organization, and leadership across the board to ensure every team member feels important, valued, and recognizes their potential within this organization. Calix executive seem to understand that the growth of the organization starts with the growth of its members and customers - and they hold true in their support and prioritization of that.
Cons
Calix isn't afraid of innovation... in fact, they define it. There is no slow rolling with this organization so if you're not self-motivated and like to take your time, this organization may not be the fit for you. It's a worthwhile challenge, but not for those that are against buying into the efforts of the company and committing 100%.
