Pros
  • Good salary, reasonable benefits.
  • There are some good people and teams here. 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 anyway: mine had one response to any question "you'll figure it out".
  • Manager rarely attended 1:1's, 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.
Advice to Management

There is no visible management here aside from Matthew and Michelle. Nobody else in management has any vision, or direction.
