Posting this for a friend: I almost got an offer from Grab Singapore (currently residing in India) but everything was put on hold due to covid19. I had communicated with HR and their initial response was that they will get back positively as soon as situation gets better. However per the latest discussion, they are still keeping me on hold as hiring has begun only in phases. Anyone sailing in a similar boat? Also with the current layoff at Grab, how does the hiring situation look? Can someone from Grab give me more information Any inputs would be highly appreciated #grab #jobopening #recruiting #singapore
I received an offer from Grab, Singapore in the month of March and declined the offer in April. That was the best decision I took. They're laying off crazily - even engineers. Stay away from Grab/Uber/Lyft. They're hit hard in this situation.
Back in March I was going through the final stages of recruitment process with Grab (Singapore). However by early April, they have emailed me saying due the pandemic they were going on hiring freeze. Actually the email had similar choice of words from what’s described in the post. Since then I’ve never heard from them, I’m pretty sure they will not resume my hiring conversations. It’s a pity... I was really excited for the role at Grab and enjoyed the interviews with the teams. They just announced layoffs this week, I think you should move on and don’t expect the hiring resume anytime soon. Perhaps 2021.
yes please move on, save yourself
DM me for Shopee
Can I still DM you for Shopee?
Yes if you’re based in singapore
Don't take the offer now. Not a good time. My grab friend got laid off
Thanks alot everyone for your suggestions!! My friend posted this query for me. Although Grab seemed to be a good opportunity at that time, however its best to look for other options now looking qt the current situation. Really appreciate you all answering the query
I don't think there will be any new headcount soon as they are having layoffs and dealing with business impact of covid19. I think you'd better looking for other places as well and I bet there will be "DM me for Shopee" in the comment section 😁
Lol dm 🤣
