Pros

A great place to make an impact. The company is growing at quite a clip, and there are plenty of opportunities to stretch and develop. The culture is flat, transparent and encouraging. It is very result-focused with flexible work schedules and locations. Benefits are top notch and pay is competitive. My role here fulfills the modern career needs of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Who doesn't want to help build a better internet?

Cons

As things grow, they don't always run perfectly. If you want a smoother ride, you may be better served elsewhere.

Pros

For me, the best reason to work at CloudFlare is to learn what it takes to scale a company. We have a high achievement-oriented team that is also a lot of fun.

Cons

The primary challenge is lack of clarity and disparate data sources, which is to be expected in a growth company.
