What do you like best about the leadership team?
Even though Calix is a large company with 1,000+ employees it feels like a small company. Which I love, and this starts from the top when it comes to collaboration and being open to feedback. Our leadership team is always available and easy to have a discussion with on ideas and improvements.

Great, daring vision that has proven itself true many times in helping service providers get ahead of the challenges in the market and differentiate. Our CEO has been beating the drum on experience for years and the market is starting to realize the prophetic truth.

They enable sales to be successful
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
the leadership team that i have worked for at Calix is by far the best group. They go above and beyond to make sure our voices are heard and that we have everything we need to be successful.

Honor employee tenure and provide for growth financially
Review from Sales Dept
My manager is clearly Bi-Polar and needs anger management training.
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Calix values it's employees. Love the worklife balance along with competitive pay. It shows they value talent! It feel like an elite job that not everyone can get.

The stock purchase plan is amazing
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
it is a fare package
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I'm not unhappy or undervalued, I just think the benefits "could" be better. They are good, pay is good, but I would be lying if I didn't think they could be better. Better better never best is our internal company motto.

The market is proving better pay
Review from Sales Dept
Sales Managers need to be compensated commensurate with the total breadth of their work. While we are technically ICs, our responsibilities lie much beyond just selling and really should be a formal leadership role. We're asked to do much more than any other sales role but in the same comp range.
Review from Sales Dept
Increase 401k benefits to 100% match. Increased lifestyle reimbursement credit due to inflantion. Education reimbursement program. RSU given to you, not just ESPP plans. Increase pay for the amount of travel we do being away from our families.
Review from Sales Dept
I am responsible to know the entire catalog of hardware and software but software only reps have a 60k higher base which seems off
Review from Sales Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
My team rocks! It's great to have structured work, but also add in some fun into the mix. The team collaboration is top notch along with appropriate communication.

Very supportive and collaborative - and just great people
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
the teams i work with on a daily basis always show up willing to help the customer and other team members succeed.
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Poor communication of focus and strategy. Customer experience varies depending on who is involved in the engagement. There needs to be greater adherence to a plan and proper training around value-led selling.
Review from Sales Dept
Improve their leadership skills, view the team as a team and not a vehicle for individual accolades, learn their products and services, and improve professional courtesy.
Review from Sales Dept
Co-workers often are invested in looking good to upper management instead of focusing on getting the work done. In a perfect world, they could focus on both.
Review from Sales Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Love the collaboration, and the openess to new ideas. Calix and the leadership are ALWAYS open to having meaningful conversation on how we approach the market or a customer deal. I love that we can have a solid debate and laugh at the same time. Awesome culture, and its important to success.
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 4 days ago
Calix culture of "better better never best" reminds us that there is always opportunity to get better. And every individual is given the latitude and whatever resources needed to do their job well.

overall desire for personal dn customer success
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
its a very inclusive environment - team-first approach. everyone for the most part is always looking for ways to pitch in and get the job done the right way as a unit.
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Less micro management that holds up up rather than helps
Review from Sales Dept
Company culture is good overall. We do tend to be somewhat awed by our own great culture that we fail to recognize when or if team members are struggling, especially if they are struggling with their manager (or their manager's behaviour)
Review from Sales Dept
I've had little experience of the much celebrated company culture. It carries a very North American bias which doesn't resonate well with me.
Review from Sales Dept
More transparency and inclusion on forward outlook of what we are developing and why and how it was researched to determine the value and TAM
Review from Sales Dept
Extend the collaboration and consideration of achievements and success outside the US
Review from Sales Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Open candid interviewers made me feel at ease and understand the challenges of the position. No surprises.
Review from Sales Dept
I liked that I got to meet a lot of different people throughout the interview process.
Review from Sales Dept
Met with a bunch of people from different areas, and discovered it was not just about what you know, but if you have a good cultural fit.
Review from Sales Dept
During the 2nd round I had the privilege of having one on one time with ten members of the leadership team and influential co-workers throughout the day. They got to hear my strengths and weaknesses and I had the opportunity to clarify their expectations and connect with each of them.
Review from Sales Dept
I had the opportunity to speak to many different business units that allowed me to fully understand how all of them work with each other.
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
decrease the number of interviews and increase the length of interviews with those most impacted by the hiring
Review from Sales Dept
Speed, provide proper and timely feedback to candidates
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Strategizing deals is the most fun! Calix allows for us to get creative with how we structure deals. It's exciting to work with our customers to align their vision with ours, and then structure the deal that makes sense for all parties involved.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.

Remove the VP he is a cancer to the team.
