I have an upcoming interview with the Uber Freight. Given the recent layoffs at Uber, I would like to understand the following aspects of Uber Freight. 1. Attrition in the team in the last 6 months. 2. Growth of the product in itself. As in growth in customer base and revenue stream. 3. Stability in leadership. 4. Level of ownership and technical debt. As in do all components have owners who understand how the component works or are there way too many components that lacks ownership?
Eats is a business they will divest from most likely.
What information do you have to make this statement?
Search for Restaurant Unit Economics - the article from Reforming Retail is a good one. Your own bro Travis realizes the issues with Front House and Back House labor costs and restaurant commissions to see this model not work, resulting in Cloud Kitchens, etc.
Hi @op Do you mind sharing your interview experience at Freight? I have mine coming up in few days. Thank you
How did it go?
Not on freight but generally 1. More attrition than normal in most areas. 2. freight has had a ton of growth and I’m sure they’ll tell you like 10x in interview. They talked about freight growth during new hire orientation 3. Company wide, just lost CPO and people don’t like CEO or CTO. They like CFO, not sure about freight leadership 4. Generally freight is new and many things at uber have been re-written in the last couple of years. I can only imagine that freight is better. Get an offer than ask these questions directly to HM
Thanks! What about Eats?
Eats gets more spotlight but less growth than freight as it’s much more mature
