I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cloudflare in July 2022
Interview
7 rounds of interviews, all one on one.
They asked typical product scenario questions and conflict management questions.
I can tell you from speaking with them every1 is overworked to the bone, and they don't care about you and you'll have to do whatever it takes to get it done.
I went through 7 rounds and had 4-5 employees telling me they can't wait to hire me, to be completely ghosted and not even receive an email stating they won't be moving forward. Absolutely horrible communication and respect.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudflare
Interview
This was 8 rounds total, meeting with a variety of people throughout the company. It was very beneficial to meet so many people and to get to understand the culture. It seems like the people who work there really love it.

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.
