What are perks and other benefits like at Cloudflare?

The brand is big, stock price is booming

No benefits , toxic work culture

Good benefits, Strong Products and still in growth market

Bad middle management, lack behind on enterprise

Cloudflare provides decent healthcare, great benefits in time off. There’s really a lot to learn at the role you get. There's even opportunities to develop new skills and get into different roles and internal transfers. The company’s CEO, employees and products are truly helping organizations be more secure and improve the internet. They even have a project Galileo that gives internet protection to non profit organizations. Their mission is Definitely worth supporting.

Unfortunately over the years since I’ve joined, they have changed their company culture. In their headlong quest to be the next fortune 100 company, they’ve forgotten to be kind and supportive of employees. Management develops cliques. The new managers or directors gets hired and then push out old employees then bring in new employees externally just to build a team they want instead of working with existing employees. Yes change is always a constant, but losing care, kindness and empathy along the way to achieve the revenue goal is to lose the company’s own goal of being transparent and to lead with empathy. Also managers are trying desperately to be ruthless in bringing in pipeline / or close sales but they failed always to get buy-in from other teams to support the execution of ideas. Over the years it’s harder to get mentors or colleagues that’s willing to train and teach. People are getting more protective of their experience and skills as more people are being let go for no reason or placed under PIP.

Good benefits, good pay for sales comp, remote model, good technology

Company only good if your manager is good. Most managers are too results-driven and don't care about making a good team culture

Office culture is quite diverse, good benefits and allowances. People are really nice. Flexible working.

Really hard to get a promotion. There isn't a scheme in place for BDRs to move to different roles or departments

great product, good benefits and some alright colleagues.

Subjectively, personal growth was limited by a visible lack of psychological safety - it took a while to recover mentally and feel healthy after moving on from this experience. There was a strong motion of clique building to "save each other" which translated to a weird set of relationships between colleagues full of distrust towards peers outside their groups. Questionnable top down decisions that were sometimes pushed through with little to no regard for their ripple effects.

Great package and great benefits

Toxic culture, lack of career progression, sudden structural changes

No micro Management, good pay, good benefits

Lots of processes for a company of this size with little flexibility

- The majority of ICs with 2 or more years tenure are experienced, knowledgeable, and stimulating to work with.

** There is no 401K matching contributions. - In my first year, HR degraded the medical benefits, calling it an "exciting new change." However, they ignored employee messages asking how reverting to our previous provider (which they had previously criticized) could be considered a positive change. They also largely ignored concerns about how the decrease in benefits would disproportionately affect employees with chronic illnesses. - Rampant nepotism in the sales organization, with friends of management being hired as seniors without relevant credentials or experience, while more tenured and instrumental employees are still sub-senior.

Great benefits and WFH policy
