I’ve been told by my recruiter that Uber is going on a hiring freeze for all data science and product analytics roles. My onsite was scheduled in a week Anyone at Uber can confirm / provide details?
I'm a candidate who was about to do my onsite as well. My recruiter said the same thing. My friend in Uber confirmed it with me. Very curious as to why there's a hiring freeze ... Usually signals a financial problem but doesn't seem likely with Uber.
Has anyone heard anything yet?
Yes, there is a hiring freeze. Not entirely sure why though
anyone know if there's been an update on this?
Checked with my recruiter and seems that they're still trying to work out a timeline
Now you all know what the freeze was about. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/29/technology/uber-job-cuts.html
the layoffs seem to be focused on marketing tho. funny enough my recruiter just reached out to me to let me know that the data sci position I was interviewing for just got taken off the hiring freeze lol. not sure how interested I am now though given all the back and forth and apaprent instability.
Any idea when this DS hiring freeze could end and what changes could we foresee when it does?
Keep looking for other opportunities too. You may be paid well other places.
I have several other interviews already. Just looking for insight into what’s going on at Uber
My friend cribs about salary negotiation and has declined their offer.
