Calix is people centered, both for their customers and employees. They have a mission that everyone knows and aligns to.
Cons
Not necessarily bad, but the company moves quick and some decisions have a short shelf life, so if you don’t like change it won’t be for you.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.
