Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dallas, Texas
Process
I was contacted by Cloudflare for an initial interview and asked to provide my availability three weeks ago. I gave free rein of my schedule and never heard from them again.
I guess I'll update my "why I dislike interviewing for tech" list of grievances to include being ghosted after the recruiter sent the introductory email/request for interview.
It really makes me wonder why they are voted "one of the best places to work".
I even have two recruiters' emails who won't respond to requests for information or, more importantly, apologize at this point for wasting my time and resources. What a joke; red flag dodged.

Like most tech companies, it depends where you get hired into.Cons: - Company runs on duct tape and hope, and blog post puffery. - Terrible onboarding process (failed completely, apparently that is expected). - Mentors not trained in any way: mine had one response to any question, "you'll figure it out." - Manager rarely attended 1:1s, zero guidance except what not to do. - Consistently cheap, happier to burn engineering time rather than pay for anything new. Comically bad at this. - Company lobbies employees very hard to vote for Cloudflare in the top-100 companies; doesn't actually care to solicit feedback on how it really is. - There are hopefully better teams, but mine was the least bonded I've ever encountered.
