I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudflare (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
- Coffee organized via a contact in my network (I think this bypassed the phone screen(
- Full-day interviews
- Half-day interview with presentation at the end
(I think this is going to be compressed down to one day soon though)

Question 1
If you were building multi-tasking on the early iPhone, how might you go about it?
1. Reached out to the hiring manager through LinkedIn InMail and applied directly.
2. Hiring manager and recruiter reached out to set up a call.
3. Had 1st stage with a hiring manager (Director of Product) for 1 hour.
4. Rejected with no feedback.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudflare
Interview
This was 8 rounds total, meeting with a variety of people throughout the company. It was very beneficial to meet so many people and to get to understand the culture. It seems like the people who work there really love it.

Question 1
What is the biggest mistake you've made in your life?
Process was severely disorganized and drawn out. It's clear their resources are stretched and some managers are doing what they can to make things happen, even if it's out of process. I didn't get a genuine sense of enthusiasm or "life is great here" from anyone I spoke to.
