“The Calix leadership team knows that success starts with people”

Since 2016, Calix has led its technology peers by remaining committed to an all-remote culture. Calix was recently named the #1 Best Place To Work in the Bay Area by the Q1 2023 Comparably awards. Since 2020, Calix has won 40 Comparably awards and has maintained a consistent A+ culture rating and a 4.9 rating on Glassdoor.

“The Calix leadership team knows that success starts with people,” said Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix. “Every team member understands that company culture is formed by how we act every day, and we further support them by embracing a mindset of ‘better, better, never best’ through coaching and professional development initiatives. That’s because we understand that our culture is a reflection of how we treat each other and our customers. Calix leadership is committed to supporting team success by hiring slowly, setting clear goals, actively coaching, communicating transparently, and caring about the whole person—not just the business. The result is an aligned, purpose-driven culture that contributes to the success of our customers every day while achieving great results for our investors. Calix is one of only 23 U.S. public companies with a market cap greater than $10 million to have no debt and a three-year track record of achieving 25+ percent growth while being free cash flow and net income positive over the entire period. That is the power of people and an aligned culture. The result is a win-win-win for our employees, customers, and investors.”
