I was already very familiar with CloudFlare as a customer in my previous role, and a big supporter of the organization's stance on privacy and freedom of speech. I interacted with current employees at conferences and on discussion forums when I wasn't on the market. Once my status changed, I contacted them and asked for an interview. I did not interview at any other companies. The entire process took about a month start to finish, and honestly could have been a lot more efficient in terms of calendar time. However, most of the time was spent waiting between interactions, so my real time wasn't actively being wasted, and there were unique circumstances which probably dragged the process out 2-3x longer than normal. However, I would say "speedy response" is one of the weaker areas of the process. I suspect this will improve. Interviews vary a bit based on anticipated role. Generally something approximating a work-sample or pair programming in technical roles. Most of the focus seems to be on meeting as many employees as possible and having genuine, two-way interactions -- I get the impression CloudFlare is very selective, and isn't trying to hire 5x their current number of employees in a year of hyper-growth, so they would rather miss some good candidates than accept less-optimal candidates.
