Pros

During the interview process I was able to meet with team members from all departments within Cloudflare. This was the most positive experience in the recruitment process. This method allowed me to gain a deep understanding of my responsibilities, insights into how I would be supported and teams work together, more importantly, see the true passion shared for Cloudflare's mission by all individuals. At the end, the recruitment method at Cloudflare, although a bit longer than past experiences, allowed me to start with knowing a lot of my new colleagues and enhanced my enthusiasm to join the journey.

Cons

Candidates should be ready for a thorough process that takes time. The reward is great but they are looking for specific individuals to join the team.

Thanks for the review. We run a deliberate process. Because - as you point out - candidates are learning as much about us as we are learning about them (maybe more). Hiring is the most important thing we do. We are glad you joined! -janet

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
