I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cloudflare (Austin, TX) in Jan 2025
Interview
I was shocked to see how disorganized Cloudflare’s interview process was. Expect 8-9 rounds of interviews with a take home assignment. Set expectations low, the interviewer will most likely not show up or ask re-schedule minutes before the call.

Question 1
What is the biggest mistake you've made in your life?
Process was severely disorganized and drawn out. It's clear their resources are stretched and some managers are doing what they can to make things happen, even if it's out of process. I didn't get a genuine sense of enthusiasm or "life is great here" from anyone I spoke to.
