I got in touch with Cloudflare in August regarding interning with them for the 2016 summer. Overall the interviews themselves were very pleasant and professional. They were quick to respond, and schedule an initial phone screening. After that, they promptly scheduled a phone interview with an engineer. Shortly after that, I was told to get back in touch around November since August was too early to figure out intern roles.
November rolls around and I email the recruiter I worked with, only to not get any responses. Luckily, I was able to get in touch with Michelle Zatlyn and found out that the recruiter moved to another position. I talked with a new recruiter, who said he would forward my resume to all of the teams and get back to me in a week to schedule an on-site interview. Two weeks go by with no contact so I send him an email. Another two weeks go by with no response. Sent another. Still nothing. It’s been a month and a half with no response, so I’ve accepted an offer from another company due to time pressure. The experience overall was negative and felt very unorganized. Maybe it'll be better in the coming years.

Question 1
Talked about previous experience, was asked to walk through how I went about solving some problems I worked on.
solid, very nice interviewers, technical s were interesting and collaborative. Overall less leetcody than general and felt more like a conversation/ pair programming. Recruiters were very slow though. Most non coding interviews were very fluffy i.e just talk through your resume/ a project you worked on. There was an emphasis on how you like to work, i.e what youre looking for in both a team and work in general.
Total 7+ rounds. First recruiter round. Rejected after second round(hiring manager).
Recruiter round focussed on Cloudflare, comp details, rounds of interviews and few questions about profile

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudflare
Interview
The process included about 8 interviews with different people but mostly with the team member. The technical questions were fair, not very hard. And the also the interviewers were polite and professional.
However, the whole process tool about 10 hours, and it was scheduled in a week or two, so you need to allocate a huge amount of time. This was a big issue specially, if you need to plan it during the working hours.
Once all the interviews finished, there was no update for a week, and then finally a cold email saying No! without any feedback or explanation.
It's totally fine to say "No" in an interview process, but given 8 rounds of interviews and many hours, first the silence period and second, not providing any feedback and explanation was a negative experience.
