Summary

Cloudflare has experienced increased productivity and job satisfaction since transitioning to remote work during the pandemic. The company observed greater participation in meetings from underrepresented groups, leading to a more diverse team. However, they also acknowledge challenges with remote work, such as reduced human interaction and difficulties for early-career professionals. Cloudflare plans to experiment with flexible workspaces, encourage in-person collaboration through "on-site off-sites," and support local businesses near their offices. They believe that the future of work will be more inclusive, productive, and adaptable.
