I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudflare (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
Recruiter reaches out and sets up time with hiring manager. Then you move on to a panel of 4 people where you also have to do a presentation. Two additional executive calls after that.
They take up so much of your time, fully expecting you to already know how to sell their products and then completely ghost you. Most companies have the decency to send rejection emails but not this company.
Long process but they give you a clear idea of what to expect for each interview. 1. HR first screening 2. Hiring manager screening 3. Three panel interviews (Culture, Technical, Peer) 4. Executive interview
About a month long in total. Study for the interview if you want to suceed
Many stages but relatively quick. Only 2-3 weeks. Somewhat guarded with their opinions on how I went but after asking they were open. Some interview stages I felt were unnecessary but that's personal opinion.
The entire process involves 6 to 8 interviews, including a mock call. Overall, it is manageable but requires significant effort and preparation to succeed. It demands dedication throughout each stage.
