      Customer Solutions Engineer Interview

      Sep 25, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudflare (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      Got an invitation to schedule a call with a Hiring Manager after approx. 3 weeks after applying on the Careers web page. During the interview, we went through my experience, the expectations from the CSE, team structure and also, was asked a few technical questions to see if you are familiar with Cloudflare offerings and the general concepts of how it works. After that, they sent homework - you will need to build a website on any cloud platform (root domain in "example.com" format is required, so unless you already have it, be ready to pay a few $$$), write some code, API calls and complete a number of tasks. Apart from that, everything needs to be documented (with screenshots, step-by-step instructions and code samples) and submitted for review. In my opinion, the exercises on Cloudflare are not too complicated, however the prerequisites (setting up the environment, building a website and writing a specific code to achieve the desired result) were the most time-consuming. After a week or so, I've got an automated (!) rejection email - considering the fact that you spent hours (likely, 10+ productive and obviously, unpaid hours), I think it would be fair to provide personalized feedback about what could have been done better (come on, it takes a few minutes maximum and 2-3 sentences would be sufficient) P.S. According to the Hiring Manager, the next step with the successful candidate is another technical round with a discussion of your project and one behavioral round.

      Customer Solutions Engineer Interview

      May 30, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cloudflare (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      The interview process is long and involves 6-7 interviews in total. I had the hiring manager initial interview and it went pretty well. Thought I would move on to the next round however did not hear back after that. The company itself seems like a good place to work however they really need to improve their hiring process. I was sent an email before the interview with some good info and said to contact the recruiter if I have further questions. I emailed the recruiter and also messaged her on LinkedIn but got no reply from her before the interview. Some feedback on what they are looking for or why you are not a good candidate after the initial interview would also be helpful.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is something that I can't know about you from your resume? Who are Cloudflare's competitors? What are some gaps in Cloudflare?
