Intern Reviews
- “The culture of the company was better than any I have been a part of. Every person was eager to share their knowledge and provide help in any way they could.”
- “The firm culture was very friendly and helpful, as well as respectful of boundaries and schedules. I was required to work 40 hours per week, but my manager was completely understanding of my situation, and I was allowed to work weekends to make up for any missing hours during weekdays. I had a very healthy work-life balance and was able to exercise and help out my family while accomplishing what I needed to when I was on the clock.”
- “I felt that my internship offered great work/life balance. My team was very understanding if I needed time for myself, and the culture of Calix is all about making sure employees are happy and able to show up to work with their cups full.”
- “The firm culture really prioritizes a work-life balance. They promote a healthy work-lifestyle and want employees to take a walk outside, take time to eat lunch (not while doing work), and focus on their health/well-being. I was required to work 40 hours a week, but if I ever had a doctor's appointment (for example), they were very receptive. As long as I got my work done in an efficient manner, they were really accepting of my personal work-life balance.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The recruiting/talent acquisition team was so kind and quick to respond to all of my calls/emails. The process was not super long, and the interviews went smoothly. They were definitely selective because I had to have more than two interviews to get the internship, but it just shows the degree that they want to hire strong talent.”
- “The hiring process was very smooth. A lot of communication was provided, which helped immensely.”
- “I had four rounds of interviews, and I can confidently say that each of the interviews was different and exciting. The difficulty was above average for my role.”
