Hey Uber! Thinking about joining Uber For Business. How’s the team perceived internally? Opportunities for growth? Worth joining? Any input would be appreciated!
It’s good. Not gonna lie, it is not as sexy as some of the newer bets like freight, eats etc. But it is a good team with pretty consistent history of delivering
Meh. So so. Not ideal place to be. I guess it depends on your other options
Other option could be Google - going through the process right now - so not sure which team yet. What’s the process to move to another team at Uber if I didn’t like U4B? Is it easy? Is there a waiting period?
There is a waiting period after you join. I think it is a year. In theory, it is easy, but often managers are jerks and it becomes hard. Uber has been trying to improve this but still cases of managers blocking transfers. Personally, I'd have a hard time picking Uber over Google. There is much higher variance in terms of what you might experience at Uber. Also, we've slowed down hiring. So it isn't as easy to move up. Not sure if that matters to you, but figured I'd mention it.
There is lot of potential in the team , but the leadership keeps changing and so are the priorities.
^^^this. Been the pattern for a while now.
UberForBusiness is particularly killing it in India. Started after Ola when they were way ahead now at par and better than them in a lot of sectors.
It is a growing biz opportunity and the future revenue generator
