Employee voices from the Calix China Development Center

At the Calix China Development Center, benefits are designed around what employees actually need—flexible hours, remote work options for select roles, 15 to 20 days of paid annual leave, paid sick leave, 16 hours of volunteer time per year, and a lifestyle program covering gym memberships and more. Recharge days, an all-employee stock plan, and Employee Appreciation Day complete the package.

The culture is warm and collaborative from top to bottom. Employees have clear visibility into their roles and growth paths, with real opportunities to serve as project technical leads, principal engineers, and software development managers. Engineers value the space to learn underlying technical principles—backed by a well-resourced development environment and a team that prioritizes working methodology.
