We recently open up quite a few headcounts (30+) that need to fill across mobile and backend in Marketplace and Infra. Prefer 2+ years of experience. Message me if you are genuinely interested. Personal opinion: it's a golden time to join us now with tons of upside potential.
Upside potential in terms of stock growth?
Yes. At least internally we don't believe our stock only worth $27. Most people around me are not selling at this price. Just my observation here: lots of insiders still have faith and are holding here.
That's good to know. Are there any catalysts for stock growth in next few quarters?
Everyone has upside potential until they don't. The company is notorious for mass layoffs lol.
I can't say much about the story behind layoff. But it had a reason. I don't see any upcoming layoff any time soon. Now the wave is over and it's heads-down execution time.
Ok thanks for the update Dhara
Any PM positions?
Not I'm aware of. Mostly backend/mobile/data engineer and EMs at this point. But you are welcomed to send me your resume and I can help you ask around
Uber is also doing batch hiring - a recruiter can authorize you for an on-site on a 30 minute basic screen.
it's the same in other companies also right? Google has a 45 min screening before onsite.
A 45 minute technical screening with an engineer after doing a leetcode question. This was a 30 minute interview with a recruiter asking you what the difference between a stack and queue is and you just have to say: FIFO vs LIFO.
Recruiter reached out to me online. Wouldn't explain the details of the available positions. Recent layoffs from Uber is concerning. In addition the stock holding ppl start to be able to cash out their stocks. We can only expect the stock to slide even more. Can you explain the upside potential?
By the time you got offer and able to join, influence of lock up expiration should be gone if any. Stock price is pretty solid low atm.
Changing company is a big move because one encounters uncertainties in 1.future manager 2. the scope and nature of the job 3.stock uncertainties including giving up invested stock from prev companies. Just because Uber stock will fall by the time one joins seems like a very limited enticement.
Why did Uber lay-off in the first place if they needed more engineers? Just laying off the expensive ones?
No. We still hire expensive ones as long as they are good. :) There are lots of factors to consider, but cost per person is not one of them.
Layoffs were done to save $$$, when the company loses money its bound to have layoffs whatever the reason be
Hire 30+ Fire 300+ Repeat
Uber lay-off good ppl and it is a political game!
Any positions related to network software engineering?
Might be true before Q3 results.
