I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudflare in May 2024
Interview
Lengthy and inefficiency. Had one phone call with the director, one more with the hiring manager, another one with engineers then recruiter call. Followed up with so-called panel interviews. Multiple rounds of technical and non-technical interviews. People seem nice. However, they didn't set up the interview according to the time slots I've shared. Worst of all, they ghosted me after the interview. Not even a courtesy follow-up. This happened last month (Apr-May 2024). Same thing happened to me with Cloudflare back in 2018. I should have stopped wasting my time with them.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cloudflare (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Jan 2026
Interview
Super cool process, with multiple stages and comprehensive people. Although I’ve not been selected, it was a nice experience and I would love to participate in the process again in the future
I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudflare in Jan 2026
Interview
First step was the interview with hiring manager, next step - live coding, then I dropped off because of poor communication from the recruiter's side.
Technical people are cool and very friendly, I didn't feel nervous with them and got a lot of information about the projects they work on.
But HR side requires improvement. They can ignore your re-scheduling request or skip the call without prior notification.
