Pros

CloudFlare is an ambitious vision from the founding team, paired with a smart team able to deliver on it. This combination has made a significant impact on the Internet landscape. (all your glassdoor bytes actually transit through their product!) The company itself is very engineering and data driven, and everyone feels personally involved in making a better Internet. The CEO has done a tremendous job at establishing CloudFlare as a brand that is impossible to ignore. There are still a lot of interesting technical challenges to solve. Get a job at CloudFlare if you want to apply yourself on something big in a no-BS environment!

Cons

The organization is all flat and self-managed in a sense, that's laudable. However some people are more "in the know" and close to the execs than some others, which makes it a bit confusing. At times it seems like the immediate story is more important than a big picture solution. But overall things seem to always move in the right direction.

The upsides don't outweigh the downsides

Pros

Great mission - build a better internet - using languages like Go. The CEO is visionary - definitely has an understanding of what the market wants. The company blog is followed and often picked up by the press. The company is also growing fast.

Cons

Very toxic culture - very much a cult of personality. Most of the first engineers hired have left the company. Either you are loved by the CEO or hated - there is no other way to get promotions or more money. No one on the 'executive' team has any management experience.

Pros

A great place to make an impact. The company is growing at quite a clip, and there are plenty of opportunities to stretch and develop. The culture is flat, transparent and encouraging. It is very result-focused with flexible work schedules and locations. Benefits are top notch and pay is competitive. My role here fulfills the modern career needs of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Who doesn't want to help build a better internet?

Cons

As things grow, they don't always run perfectly. If you want a smoother ride, you may be better served elsewhere.
