Uber: switch teams

I got an offer in some teams at Uber, pretty decent. However I'm not sure whether the job/team is the one I should be going for, and someone on blinds even said to run away from that team. How easy or hard to switch to a completely different team at Uber? Does it have an one year limit as in Google?

Lol, you're gonna need more than somebody in blind saying something bad

Which team are you trying to stay away?

Yes, there is a 1 year limit on switching teams

It is 6 months now if the change doesnt involve change in location.

Don’t believe - I was in uber , I was forced to change teams 4 times in 2 months and got stuck with a bad manager and bad team who didn’t allow me to change more - had to go through 1 year of hell

You can switch before joining. I did it, although it was before I got a written offer.

Message the Uber names here to confirm team issues. Bad teams are more rare these days due to a much stronger HR culture. Consider strongly the data freshness of any bad reports. Wouldn't want a different team to lose good engineering leaders due to an unwarranted bad reputation.
