- Poor Performance Review Process - Biased Rewards & Recognition - Total office politics - No Work Life Balance - Ask to work on weekends and are so delivery focused that they will grill you. Hard to cope up with speed and quality in such pressuring environment. - No 360 degrees feedback - managers and top leaders - No off-shore opportunities - There is no such opportunity here at all. - Very bad development process. - No annual hike this year to anyone and not so good % bonus are given - No RSUs are given as a part of package....Read More

Calix is truly an excellent company that goes above and beyond in taking good care of it's employees. The leadership at Calix is not only top notch, but also consistently prioritizes employee satisfaction, making it a stand-out among other companies. They truly invest in industry standard tools, benefits , and culture, making the overall experience extraordinary for employees. It is truly inspiring and heartwarming to witness an India office like Calix doing such amazing things to support their workforce. The leadership team, comprised of individuals like Zach, Arun , and Julian, truly makes the Calix center one of the best in the industry. Their guidance and expertise have led to the development of a technical support division that is second to none, creating an environment where teams genuinely enjoy the work they do. It is truly a testament to the company's values that they prioritize their employees to such an extent that they even provide cabs for travel to the office and catered meals . This level of care and attention to detail is truly exceptional, especially coming from network infrastructure company. All in all, Calix sets a remarkable example of how a company should prioritize and invest in it's employees. Their commitment to providing a positive work environment, industry-standard resources, and excellent leadership is truly commendable. It is no wonder that Calix stands out as an outstanding company in the industry, making a significant impact on its employees and setting the standard for others to follow....Read More

Poor , incompetent and unethical management, zero transparency. Lack of accountability in management and in general irresponsible decision making. No stocks RSUs for engineers. No work-life balance even if you are a high performer. No appraisal. Appraisal system doesn't exist. No career growth talk only you have to work day and night on unclear requirements and degrade your health. Zero transparency as an organisation. Manager feels they are kings...Whatever we say it's right. You just have to follow. Plz don't ask questions, otherwise you will be questioned more or same task will be given to you as an award for questioning the design problem. No rewards and recognition. They will praise you on PPTs only. Now that are counting the number of chicken pieces we eat during the lunch time. Only two pieces per person....Read More
