Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Pay is way below median range for the job. Pay for experienced individuals should be minim at median level
Review from Marketing Dept
I am delivering results and I think compensation could be more competitive based on experience and performance.
Review from Engineering Dept
As per market standards better compensation are available for the skills.
Currently I am coming out of that category but only because I have a manager taking the time to champion my position to better align my compensation with my responsibilities and experience. A structured path for employee advancement would have provided better guidance and understanding.

My Compensation has not been evaluated since 3 years.. I think I deserve better though..

Review from Engineering Dept
Most mid to senior management at Calix are Mavericks or Venturers, indifferent to structure, details, or processes. Direct reports must quickly execute their leaders' spontaneous ideas. The organization lacks skills in analysis, problem-solving, data-driven decision-making, and clear communication.
Communication. Overall, the message not always travel all the way. Sometimes directions are very unclear and confusing.
Co-workers should be able to understand the peers facilitation and the reason for a process.

Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.

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

Everyone needs to listen. Too many people want to talk too often.
