      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudflare

      Interview

      Applied online, received a test with 10 questions from team lead. Submitted the test within 10 days & received an email from recruiter for next steps. A virtual panel round was set with 5 interviewers. All 4 were great but 1 interviewer felt like he wasn’t much interested to interview & gave negative vibes with demotivation when I couldn’t answer a couple questions.

      Escalation Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudflare (Tokyo) in Sep 2021

      Interview

      They sent me an assignment to complete within 10 days. I submitted it and after that did not hear any feedback for long time. Then I decided to send email to hiring manager and after 3 days they send messages that they want to schedule my interview with Hiring manager. I confirmed my availability for the suggested time, No one showed up for the interview even after waiting for 30 minutes. It was super unprofessional and I was not expecting such thing with Cloudflare. Later they said that the hiring manager is not available so they fixed interview with another person from the team instead. That interview went well, we had a good talk and discussed many things. I answered all the questions to the best of my knowledge and I felt that the person have a positive opinion for me. But Just the next day, I got rejected straight away for the role. I don’t think they even checked my interview feedback internally , just rejected. Overall very negative experience , very unprofessional.
