Constructive Feedback From Cloudflare Employees

  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    Too many code red issues, reactive instead of proactive, most employees who were headhunted were from organisations with great IT support and trainings and it is totally the opposite in here. By hiring 10000s of staff, business is not going to get better as no one is motivated.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Lisbon employees are paid too low
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Top management resign! Top management resign!
