Pros

More innovation and new products have been created in the last two years than ever before. Many businesses did not survive COVID. Calico did, and it has refocused itself for the future.

Cons

The company has had under-performers and sometimes takes too long to replace them.

Pros

This is really difficult. Flexibility from direct leader (at times) Strong benefits package

Cons

COO is not a leader. Every decision that they make has a hidden and not so hidden agenda. He is disconnected from what is actually happening in the world, and only cares about stuffing his own pocket. He also continues to make women uncomfortable with sexual inappropriateness, and when it is called out, he promotes them. There is no room to grow. They "create" positions for people that fit their needs, but once that need is met, you watch them go. "Culture" is non existent. Bagels for birthdays, a loosely put together parking lot bbq and a Christmas party that crams everyone into the training room are not culture. Culture is about core values, open communication and being the same in public as behind closed doors. Leadership does NOT practice what they preach.

Pros

Take positive reviews with a grain of salt…one of the “asks” (demands) is that new employees post a positive review on Glassdoor within their first month…in that time, most are happy but it will not last.

Cons

Toxic management and a President who either turns a blind eye to it or has his head in the sand…could be such a great company but never will be without new management…will continue to be a revolving door.
