I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudflare (Singapore) in Nov 2021
Interview
The first round phone call interview with a recruiter, basic introduction of your knowledge area and interest. The second round with the hiring manager, a few basic internet related questions, such as what is DNS, difference about DNS C Name and A Name, what tools did you use for a network issues troubleshooting. The interview itself is not stress and the questions were also ok if you have some internet basic level knowledge. There is no yes or no from the company after that.
The overall interview process was bad.

Question 1
what is DNS, difference about DNS C Name and A Name, what tools did you use for a network issues troubleshooting.
Very lengthy interview process. Back to back 3 hours interview with different teams within a same day. Good filteration at each level. Tough interview but every one were very professional with their questions. Given enough time to prepare and answer the questions

Interview
One word: devastated.
I went through about 6 - 7 interviews with Cloudflare. Every single one felt like it went well. I had meaningful conversations, great feedback from both interviewers and the team, and even made it to the panel round. A week later, I got the email, I wasn’t moving forward.
Cloudflare has been a dream company for me. I genuinely enjoyed the process, everyone was super nice and welcoming. I’m grateful for the opportunity to interview. But it’s hard not to feel confused. When everything seems to work, when people say good things and appreciate you during the interviews, it’s difficult to make sense of a "no."
I know this post won’t change the outcome, but I just wanted to say thank you, Cloudflare, for the chance. This one stings.

Interview
I went through about 5 or 6 interviews and a couple of tests. They take you all the way to the final interview and then completely ghost you. HR are very bad at providing updates between interviews, making the process very frustrating. Overall, it was highly unprofessional. I'm happy I didn't get the offer because I was desperate and would have accepted it lol. They were transparent about the pay after the first Interview which was only 1500 euro.
