I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudflare
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter; scheduled a first call. The recruiter called more than an hour before the scheduled time and, overall, sounded condescending. A new call was scheduled, with a team manager; he didn't call. A new phone call, with a different team manager, was set up; he called more than an hour late -- I couldn't get the call. Heard no more from them. Cloudflare is a great company, with awesome products and great engineers, but this was an awful experience -- hope this is not common.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly behavioral and technical background questions.
solid, very nice interviewers, technical s were interesting and collaborative. Overall less leetcody than general and felt more like a conversation/ pair programming. Recruiters were very slow though. Most non coding interviews were very fluffy i.e just talk through your resume/ a project you worked on. There was an emphasis on how you like to work, i.e what youre looking for in both a team and work in general.
Total 7+ rounds. First recruiter round. Rejected after second round(hiring manager).
Recruiter round focussed on Cloudflare, comp details, rounds of interviews and few questions about profile

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudflare
Interview
The process included about 8 interviews with different people but mostly with the team member. The technical questions were fair, not very hard. And the also the interviewers were polite and professional.
However, the whole process tool about 10 hours, and it was scheduled in a week or two, so you need to allocate a huge amount of time. This was a big issue specially, if you need to plan it during the working hours.
Once all the interviews finished, there was no update for a week, and then finally a cold email saying No! without any feedback or explanation.
It's totally fine to say "No" in an interview process, but given 8 rounds of interviews and many hours, first the silence period and second, not providing any feedback and explanation was a negative experience.
