Cons
….The founders and CTO had the self awareness to recognize that they are not, and do not have the executive skills and experience to carry the company forward. They did a great job founding the company, creating the product and setting the vision into motion, but the constant micromanagement, sense of entitlement, and arrogance to not listen and let “real enterprise executives” do what they know needs to be done in order to scale and mature the company, will only continue to burn good people out and drive them away. The grossly below market comp, laughable merit increases and RSU grants, and the embarrassment Cloudflare calls “benefits” will ensure people stay away or withdraw from the interview process. The job market will turn around and when it does there will be a reckoning. Trying to convince people that you are going to change the world, control the internet and are the company everyone wants to work at, is just not reality. That is EVERY companies pitch. People don’t care anymore about your delusions. They want to be paid fairly, to be treated with respect and they want to see leadership do what’s best for the company and its people, even if that means stepping aside. You want to GSD….start there
