In January 2024, former employee Brittany Pietsch posted viral TikTok of her firing, showing HR unable to explain the termination beyond generic "performance expectations" language. CEO Matthew Prince called the video "painful" and admitted Cloudflare was "far from perfect."

HR executives called making the termination performance-based "incredibly egregious" for what appeared to be a companywide cut.
