      Pros

      - Interesting product - Unlimited PTO (whether you can take it is another matter) - Close to Caltrain and Muni rail

      Cons

      Cloudflare does not have mission values or company culture that promote harmony among all employees. There is a very silo-ed and clique culture within the company and it seems that those who are early employees, hold higher level position or gained favor from the CEO, will have preferential treatments than the others. The tone from the top seems to reflect this: - The CEO berating engineers in the company wiki for every one to see. - A public tweet from the management publicly making fun of a company that tried to do business with Cloudflare - An offer was extended and rescinded without explanation (search Glassdoor for this review) If you see search for past reviews, you will notice common theme on what many people think of the CEO (Hint: Arrogant). People are leaving in droves and quickly replaced by other newcomers and the cycle continues, including high ranking employees. If you go to LinkedIn, you can see how many people have left Cloudflare and begin to see the pattern. The company may have a good product, but be aware of the "culture".

      Cloudflare is a great place to work!

      Pros

      Interesting mission Great technology - many many many different products on offer Most people are amazing and interested in helping you and the company to progress Super technical environment - lots of learning Excellent life / work balance Very high productivity on all departments Cloudflare is a great place to work with a clear mission of making the Internet better. I really believe that most of the key people really believe in this ideal. The company is exponentially growing and there are a lot of new products and technologies that will keep you all the time busy, interested and learning. Most people are interesting, fun, humble and ready to help you (of course this is not 100%, but this is anywhere in life). Finally, it is by far the most productive place I have ever worked! Lots of work, but I love it! At the same time, it does not affect in any way my personal life as teams are able to work independently from different places in the world.

      Cons

      Undefined processes Some legacy tech issues Simple things are over complicated sometimes WFH flexibility The pace of growth of Cloudflare in the last couple of years opened some gaps in processes. This is not a major issue but sometimes you find yourself without a clear understanding on how to deal with a challenge. As Cloudflare is a tech company some of its internal tools are not straight forward to be configured and used. Cloudflare is not keen on work from home (and they make it clear during the hiring process) - while I respect this approach, I think it is a privilege that should be given to proven employees.

      Pros

      Been here for less than a year and loving it. Great place for new grads and industry professionals. Working with awesome people in a work smart environment.

      Cons

      Not a lot of processes. If you're interested in building from the ground up, this is the place.

      Thanks for the review. We are glad you are here. We are trying to strike the right balance - no process for process sake - but also putting in process where not having one slows us down or adds confusion. Thanks for being here to help us improve! -janet
