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the management publicly making fun of a company that tried to do business with Cloudflare - An offer was extended and rescinded without explanation (search Glassdoor for this review) If you see search for past reviews, you will notice common theme on what many people think of the CEO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".

Pros

pre-IPO, great culture - everyone worth having around, they couldn't retain due to the subpar pay

Cons

- subpar pay for internal promotions - CEO is crazy, everytime there's a tweet, he posts it to drive people into a frantic frenzy - products are not fully baked by the time they launch - IPO bureaucracy is now making working here untenable - we proudly support conservative websites

Pros

Nice facility and good location. Short walking distance from Caltrain.

Cons

Lots of incompetent people in upper management loves to belittle and overwork their employees. Lost respect for upper management. COO doesn’t do anything but complain about dirty dishes. Like seriously? Is that your only contribution? Thank god having real skills matter... just because you have an MBA doesn’t mean you know everything.
