Facebook or Uber hiring freeze?
Currently in the final rounds for these companies. Getting a little concerned about the situation. Can anybody from these companies speak to whether there will be a hiring freeze? I'm that scenario, what happens to candidates?
Tech companies will be more resilient than Travel, Restaurants, and Commodities (Oil).
Thatās true - this is a short term dip , some companies will take a long time to go back up - travel and tourism is close to dead
Hey Microsoft, can I ask you for a favor? Would it be possible for you tell a Lead position that is advertised as whether L63 or L64?
Uber will have issues for sure and even layoffs , fb will do fine- might slow down hiring but not stop, might get more selective .
Thanks for input guys. Typically for layoffs or hiring, which dpt are hit first? Curious for non technical. Marketing, sales, data science... Etc
FB plans to continue hiring. Zuck said in a QnA he might accelerate in downturn to scoop up talent and support local ecosystem.
Thanks for sharing. Should I expect any delayshiring process? Just finished onsite and HM round following it. Been 4 business days so far
Don't think so. I'm in the process of hiring a few and things are going as planned (except all interviews are now virtual).
I predict this will be a good time for FB, Valve, Apple and Microsoft. The pandemic is a great time to battle test remote working solutions and the viability of virtual reality to replace meeting in person when you physically cannot.
Soon world will be in VR , we might actually be in such a state
First no hiring freeze for FB. Know buds there. Secondly donāt join uber. Their revenue will fall more due to this Coronavirus and they already donāt make money. Would lay-off more
I see the ubereats business doing well in this landscape, no?
No. Ubereats is a cash incinerator. In this scenario ppl would cool and eat home. Shit scared spending money with stocks crashing. Plus your food is brought by someone else. Risk of contact and infection is there
Be wary of Uber... Management is not on solid footing
Stay away from Uber, DM me for any questions. Join Fb, solid balancesheet and good employee friendly policies!
I just got a bonus round post onsite for Facebook. If there was a pending hiring freeze, I doubt Iād have gotten a second chance
Facebook will likely weather this and continue to hire. Uber might need to take a pause and re-access
I'm not sure even about Facebook. Which local businesses would want to advertise at the moment? Ads business is likely going to take a hit as well. I'm not saying they are cheap l gonna collapse, but the hiring freeze is also possible.
Hrgf72 - how do you feel about google?
