Uber: Reorg dust have not settled.
Got a call a day after a positive feeling onsite to be told: "Waiting for all feedbacks, but the level headcount at that office has disappeared." Recalled after the initial hiring freeze and layoff to have this fiasco. Interview at your own discretion.
Interesting that the recruiter would state it that way to a candidate. If you're comfortable sharing, what team/role did you interview for?
Was told there was a misunderstanding, or the head count that was there was removed the day of my onsite.
Could have been internal transfer maybe, weird
What level? It's my understanding that senior/critical roles (i.e. L5a+) are being prioritized.
New mobility, L4. So I'm too junior to be prioritized. Palo Alto.
Which org is mobility?
The contractor mobile app team for scooters and bikes.
do you think it would be the same for interns? im currently interviewing for swe intern
From what I'm told, there is headcount at a level above my target. So probably even worse for interns. Sorry for the bad news. But for you, it probably wouldn't hurt just to interview.
Eh I believe intern pipelines are rule of thumb not touched as much. They're crucial for junior hiring and they cost significantly less than full time employees
