      Great people - lots of challenges

      Pros

      Great people: * Most colleagues are smart, and nice to work with * Very varied backgrounds * Little to no credentialism Interesting space & scale: * Cloudflare services a lot of today's internet * Problems are often due to the large scale, which makes them fun C-level is transparent (on some things): * Board meetings are reviewed company-wide * Financials are there for anyone to see

      Cons

      HR: Very immature processes * Salary reviews don't really exist, you either get a raise after Q1 or you don't. * No formal performance reviews (ties in with above). * No structure around personal development. Changing teams is hard & DIY. Benefits: Non-US employees are second class, and stock option scheme is intransparent * UK office lagged significantly in introducing health care, and still has no pension plan. * Total number of issued stock is treated like a secret by upper management. It seems actively discouraged to figure out what the value of your options is. * Options scheme is tax efficient for US employees, but not for UK ones, due short excercise window after leaving. Engineering: * No end-to-end ownership of products: POCs are often built by one team, and then passed to someone else who has to shoulder production-readiness and maintenance. * Not enough investment into how software is released, which is a laborious process.

      Pros

      Great management team. Very engineering driven, so prevents sales from over-selling unfinished product.

      Cons

      None that I could name.
