Is Uber going to cancel the Summer internship ?

As Uber is not having much revenue now, due to Covid19 and burning lots of cash, are there any chances Uber might cancel their internship program to save some cash ? #Uber #Lyft

Yes they probably will

Even if they cancel it because of wfh policies, I find it unlikely for them to not pay the interns. Interns cost pennies and universities are one of the best hiring funnels, so it’s pretty myopic to risk having a bad reputation among students.

Google has a very strong brand to lean on. It is a very big and stable tech firm.

But what's your point he was saying a company like Google wouldn't cancel...but they did

Yes ! Interns need a lot of mentoring and handholding , hard to do in this state . If Uber is impacted for a longer time it will

I think everyone will cancel internships, even if they haven't yet.

many companies are going remote, and even giving away the full housing stipend

Lyft is not. We’re doing remote internships. May be uber will do the same.

They might just ask you to do it unpaid.

That's illegal

Half of the internships in America are unpaid. https://fortune.com/2018/07/08/unpaid-internships-twitter-debate/

Uber recruiter reached out for a role. Is the hiring freeze no longer there?

Uber yuUs28 Apr 6, 2020

Uber is not canceling internships. We’re getting an intern for my team next April

Uber USbB81 Apr 6, 2020
