Good colleagues, unlimited paid time off, and a decent pension.
It feels like Cloudflare is getting worse day by day. The new leadership for product and infrastructure is bringing nothing but bad politics, moving teams around (as if it's going to solve core company problems), and overall turning Cloudflare into one of those evil big tech companies.
I've seen people being let go for no real reason. The company would say it's a "restructure," but then post the same vacancy days after.
The CEO, Matthew Prince, has no problem insulting us in the internal channels. He is way too involved.
Everyone is burned out and tired. There is high turnover, which makes things very unstable.
Constant changes in leadership (as in, they fire them and bring in "leaders" from other companies), priorities change constantly. Things are messy, and there's constant fire fighting. On-call is often stressful as a result.
Salaries are not high, benefits are subpar, and they're struggling to hire the best talent.
There are pockets of the company that have a toxic culture (for example, ETI - avoid like the plague).
The pay increases are laughable.
CEO Matthew Prince needs to resign. Stop bringing in leadership that adds nothing but bad politics. Actually listen to employee feedback. There's no point in sending out surveys and then picking and choosing what you're going to act on.
I received an email from a recruiter to schedule a call. My interviewer was gruff and came off as rude, which certainly made me not want to pursue a position here. It really felt like my interviewer didn't care about anything I was saying.
Discussed projects and technology with a senior engineer, along with previous experience. Also asked about new work at Cloudflare. A question regarding a circular queue, including test cases and edge cases.
Interviews are pleasant, and interviewers are nice and professional. The process is very slow. At the end, you receive a take-it-or-leave-it offer, with no room for negotiation.
