I applied online, and the recruiter contacted me the next day to schedule a phone interview.

The interview went pretty smoothly. The recruiter asked generic questions, wanting to understand what I was looking for in a new job and why I was applying to Cloudflare. They also wanted to ensure I understood what the company is about. The recruiter asked in detail about my responsibilities in each of my previous jobs.

After that, the recruiter explained the next steps of the process:

• Interview with the Hiring Manager.
• Take-home exercise.
• Face-to-face interview in San Francisco.

A week later, the recruiter contacted me, stating they wouldn't move forward with the process because H1B visas were not available for the position. I appreciate the transparency and would certainly apply again if visa sponsorship were available.

I wrote this review because my experience was nothing like the past reviews for software engineering. I believe the company is working hard to improve its hiring team, and my overall experience was pretty good.

What kind of work do you do at your current company?

Are you building new features, or working on general improvements?
