Brilliant Minds, Room To Grow
Brilliant Minds, Room To Grow
Engineering is world-class. I don't know how Cloudflare manages, with under 1,000 employees, to bring together so many brilliant, creative minds.
There are a variety of teams, each with different pros and cons. You can be fluid in your role if you are a go-getter that likes making an impact. In every team, your job is what you make it, and there is a ton of room to grow and reach out beyond the scope of your role or even your team.
The Austin office is isolated in terms of freedom of creativity and informed risk-taking, yet integrated with the rest of the company in terms of engineering practices and company goals.
The company is at a stage where certain teams are being corporatized.
Processes in some teams take up more effort than deliver value, which I believe is typical at this stage in a company.
Good news is, the Austin office and product strategy particularly are protected from this trend.
Keep the bar high in terms of hiring. Don't settle just to keep the numbers up. Every mediocre hire hurts the rest of us.
