Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 10 months agoBetween us, I think it’s still okay to vet them out, but yeah you have the benefit of knowing they need to sell the job to you. Are there layoffs happening, “I read articles where layoffs are still happening, why are you hiring?” and knowing that HR is going to be impersonal and callous when you’re dealing with them. All important factors.
And hey worst case, it’s good interview prep for yourself

Yeah, still attending the interview but don’t really think I’m going to go anywhere with it. As you said, it’s good game practice.
But really though. If CF is this brazen on
letting gofiring the people closest to the money (sales) then how am I supposed to think they’re going to treat their engineering talent? R&D is typically the first to get the blunt end of the axe, not the last.scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 10 months ago
I’ve seen it hit both ways tbh, sometimes it’s engineering, sometimes it’s support. Depends on if the company views engineering as “they’ll save us money” or not.
But yeah, it’s a good chance to work out the first interview jitters, probably do some stupid technical questions on the whiteboard like “write out binary search perfectly in the whiteboard from memory”, and see how it goes.
