Pros

- Good salary, reasonable benefits. - There are some good people and teams here. Like most tech companies, it depends where you get hired into.

Cons

- Company runs on duct tape and hope, and blog post puffery. - Terrible onboarding process (failed completely, apparently that is expected). - Mentors not trained in anyway: mine had one response to any question "you'll figure it out". - Manager rarely attended 1:1's, zero guidance except what not to do. - Consistently cheap, happier to burn engineering time rather than pay for anything new. Comically bad at this. - Company lobbies employees very hard to vote for Cloudflare in the top-100 companies; doesn't actually care to solicit feedback on how it really is. - There are hopefully better teams, but mine was the least bonded I've ever encountered.

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.
