Received a message from a recruiter that Uber is hiring for Software Engineering positions. Is this true? The recruiter's words were "Hey there. I just wanted to let you know that we would be resuming tech hiring. We had a temporary hiring freeze last month and we're resuming hiring. Please let me know if you are interested or refer if you know anyone." I think it's too soon for a company to resume hiring after a series of massive layoffs. #uber
Lol Uber is also like Lyft
Lol! What are they offering to lure people in?
"We had a temporary hiring freeze last month.." The recruiters mention "massive layoffs" as "temporary hiring freeze" lol
They hired & fired me less than a year and denied my equity part of tc. So, thats the risk you are taking
There is a one year cliff, right ? How would you be eligible for Equity ? Genuine question
Wow they didn’t let you take your equity? Airbnb and Lyft vested everyone before they left
Must have worked at Uber at least 9 months
How long did you work?
Don't take the risk, unless you don't have any other option.
Got the exact same ping except for the mention of hiring freeze.
They only have one job posted on their career site, how can they be hiring
Go for it if you want to practice interviewing skills, and then crack the interview somewhere else and move forward. Uber will be unstable for years to come and no one wants to go through this stress
Take up the loop, get interview practice, reject the offer and tell them to go suck it. That's what they deserve at this stage. "temporary hiring freeze" my ass. Call a layoff a layoff.
They even sent termination papers to laid off ppl implying if it was perf related. It is a business with too much capital with less than normal ethical guidelines.
brrrrr, where does it imply that it was performance related in the termination papers?
Stay where you are 😕
Yeah, definitely. But was wondering what's happening in Uber.
