Cloudflare

Amazing colleagues, okay office, decent technology, unlimited PTO, and a good pension of up to 7% company matched.

It's a complete mess working here.

Cloudflare's poor handling of layoffs says everything about the culture.

Some people were laid off by "accident" and have already been offered to go back working for the company.

Many (if not most) software teams (that were already very understaffed) have been heavily hit, but Matthew Prince is online saying that "very few have been laid off". This shows that they have no clue of the people who have been fired.

They laid off people that were extremely hard working and added so much value to the company.

Some people were laid off while on call, like...wtf!?

The push for AI and vibecoding makes no sense for a company known for being a security company.

Ever since the latest CTO took over we have experienced an increased number of outages which doesn't seem to get better.

The obsession with Twitter is very immature for a company that aspires to be like the next Google.

Software teams are pushed to come up with the new GitHub, Microsoft Office suite, or Confluence. What is Cloudflare even now? They want to burn software teams down and then reward them with more layoffs.

I would personally stay away until either the CEO or CTO (ideally both) gets fired from the board. There will definitely be more layoffs coming.

Replace the CEO and the CTO.
