Best and Most Exciting Job I've Ever Had

Pros

I'm serious about the title. First thing I like about Cloudflare is the people. The founders have done a great job about creating a good, fun and diverse culture from the beginning. The three core values we look for in employees are: Smart, Empathy, and Technical Curiosity. From a product standpoint we are rocking it and our network scale and growth is awesome. We our out-innovating all of our competitors and taking market share away from them as well as growing the market with new capabilities. The sales team is fun, we're hitting our numbers, and growing.

Cons

No company is perfect, and we could always do better as well. Management could do a better job of proactively working with its team members to discuss and support individual career growth plans. We're trying to do so much so fast, that sometime we bight off more than we can chew each qtr. More stock and more often would be better.

Thanks for the review - and for being an important part of our growth and success for the last 3+ years (!!!) . 100% on the people, our growth, the potential and what we value. I appreciate your thoughts on where we can improve and what we can learn. You've definitely hit on the things we've identified as priorities. Come talk to me or someone on the People team. We'd love to hear more. -janet

Great Product and Company Culture

Pros

Great product in a great space and the company is on a great trajectory. It's a fun place to work with great people.

Cons

Career Development and clearly defined path to grow within the company. They preach about leaders coming from within and how existing employees are leaders of the future but that isn't the reality.
