I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudflare (New York, NY)
Interview
Horrendous. DO NOT RECOMMEND To WORK for Cloudflares product team.
The VP is young girl with no interview experience, extremely rude and lacks completely all soft skills to interview candidates.She joined'google meet" call 3 minutes late and jumped straight into asking questions.8 minutes into the interview and after I answered 2nd question she informed me that I need to apply for other jobs. Completely inappropriate and rude behaviour with disregard for applicants.
I have been in technology industry for over 14 years and this was an absolute shock to meet someone like this.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
