Just got an offer for Uber data science, is it safe to join Uber at this time? Could there be any layoffs in the future?
Depends on which team are you going to join
Bunch of non-uber people with inside knowledge?
We welcome you. Definitely, not UBER people;)
Yes it is safe to join now, all the people caught in sexual harassment have left
I tried to convince people not join this time. But they keep coming. Absolutely more lay off coming. But who can say no to the tc. Only when you realize you will never get the equity when been laid off.
Why is the only actual Uber employee giving the bad news?
Ensuring job security.
Still a lot of uncertainty
Can you elaborate more on this?
There’s still not enough headcount for teams, and lot or performance management is happening and will continue to happen. God forbid if the stocks slide at the wall street the management do not see any other option better than layoffs here
Safe enough. Don't come if on visa tho
What if you're from Visa like op
There still chances for layoff?
This should be a poll
SUPER SAFE, big (80 ppl) layoff in LA. We welcome more fresh eng open to getting laid off.
It’s a high-risk, high-reward place. If you’re looking for safe and no future layoffs: wrong company. You probably my wanna care more about the team and problem space though. Virtually all companies are doing layoffs right now, some just do it so frequently that it’s not even newsworthy (eg Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft)
Yes. Yes. Yes.
