Business Outlook

Pros

This is a fast-paced technical engineering organisation with a demanding roadmap. There is a clear focus on delivery and building the right functionality for new customers. Everyone is super-supportive of a new starter joining this kind of ecosystem and despite lockdown I've been able to make enough strong connections that I feel part of the team. The founders are still very involved with the company and their vision is very clear. Cloudflare is awesome because there is a clear, ambitious mission; the people are smart, warm and welcoming and the technical domain is fascinating, challenging and fast-paced.

Cons

The pace is such that sometimes the priority of things becomes a bit lost
