Pros

Smart teams, great mission, great products. I genuinely like and admire my colleagues. They are interesting, kind, funny people who also happen to be highly technical. Project Galileo, Universal SSL, Free plans for anyone all make me proud to work here.

Cons

Cloudflare isn't for everyone. If you need a defined career path and are looking for robust management programs, you'll be disappointed. Lots to do, not a ton of scaffolding. Some people will love this and thrive. Others won't.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
