Got onsite done but the positions are on temporary hold. Is the hiring freeze permanent?
I was just reached out by recruiter yesterday.
Yes, can confirm this. I too found out after my onsite.
Any tips on what was System Design round focused on??
Some positions can still be approved but need to be approved by vp. All other positions are on hold.
Saw a LinkedIn post by a recruiter for an engineering manager role though
Does hiring freeze signal layoffs are possible/likely at eBay in near term or is this standard end of year hold for planning?
It's not standard. But there could be a round of layoffs in February, at least, that's the rumors I've heard..
Thanks for the insight!
There is a freeze overall, but can confirm that fee required or high demand positions still have recruitment going on.
For the rest of the year, yes
Was this communicated internally? My recruiter keeps saying will know in a week.
Same with my recruiter keeps saying the same thing
