Review from Sales Dept · Posted 5 days ago

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

1. Meaningful efforts from leadership to understand challenges or gather time-to-time feedback. 2. Very less/minimal promotions in India team, employees do not get opportunity for growth. Focus on growth opportunities for existing employees - promotions, internal mobility, career progression.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

What’s going wrong is a lack of clear communication and alignment in a fast-paced environment, and it can be improved through greater transparency, clearer expectations, and more

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Again, a little Empathy can change a lot of things. Understand the people, respect the work life balance

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 12 days ago

Siloed culture, mis-aligned priorities across the teams, decision making held by a small group of people so even as a senior leader you really have no power to move forward.

Review from Marketing Dept

Executive leadership out of touch with what is really happening and what is important to our customers. Executive team does not demonstrate trust with employees. Need to reassess the amount of time spent on internal actions vs our customers.

Review from Sales Dept

Price’s Law dominates Calix's culture, leading to limited career advancement and inconsistent promotions. High performers lack work-life balance. The company struggles with decision-making and leadership, fostering a culture of fear and low trust between e

I don't see anything that is going wrong. The company has a great direction and leadership.

Review from Marketing Dept

Office distance is more. But Calix is supportive enough to give Cab service.

Review from HR Dept

It seemed that the amount of effort we were working was not proportional to the ultimate profit of the company, and the stock price was very confusing.

Review from Engineering Dept

ELT is disconnected from the reality of whats happening on the ground. ELT puffed up senior management with sycophants. ELT is incapable of prioritising initiatives and projects. Everything is always on fire and needs to be solved immediately. Mid-management making poor hiring choices.

Review from Marketing Dept

my functional leader is hard to work for

Review from Finance Dept

Remove the VP he is a cancer to the team.

Review from Sales Dept

Leadership operate and think like an old boys club. Leaders are hired rather than promoted from within. Diversity within leadership is non-existent. Leadership are out of contact with the actual culture of the company. Promotions are easily given to those that fit into the old boys club profile.

Review from Marketing Dept

This is a stupid question, you should ask the managers.

Review from Product Dept

The company is extremely slow at recognizing poor behavior and rectifying it. People are also afraid to speak out for fear of retaliation by a certain high level executive who bullies his way around.

Review from Engineering Dept

Equality of opportunities for different teams to work on some exciting projects

Very Open and Collaborative environment.
