I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
This is far and away the least professional organization I have ever encountered (and I've worked for start ups in the past).
They create false sense of urgency at random parts of the interview process, only immediately to go dark for months.
The majority of the lawyers I met were very arrogant (acted as if they were doing me a huge favor by interviewing me), but I really can't determine what merits that arrogance (they are not particularly impressive credential-wise, nor in terms of their presence, rather most of these lawyers seemed just to be lucky enough to get on the gravy train while the company was young). They did rave about how long their hours were, as if some kind of badge of pride when more it signaled to me how dysfunctional the legal group there was.
While very friendly, the HR team was pretty scattered, wrote ungrammatical emails, and had lousy follow up.

Question 1
No substantive interview questions, really just conversations -- and awkward ones at that. I met with 5 members of the legal team. Two of them left after 5 minutes because they were "too busy to meet." One of them was the most socially awkward people I have ever met, she made no eye contact at all, just sat there and checked her phone while we were talking, and then abruptly left because "something came up."
I sat in a tiny conference room by myself for about half the time I was there. Again really a lousy experience that smacked of arrogance and lack of professionalism.
A few weeks after the interviews they followed up with a written exercise that was not at all clear. I submitted it and apparently it fell into a black hole as no one contacted me after that until I sent a "what's going on" email to the recruiters.
The interview process was lengthy, containing five rounds and one essay question. the essay also had five questions.
The difficulty level increases each round.
Most of them were super friendly.
I interviewed at Uber (Lisbonne, Lisbonne) in Apr 2021
Interview
Efficient and straight-forward process. The interview was interesting with questions regarding my experience and the reason for leaving the current job position. On the other hand, it was well explained the position responsabilities and the internal organization of the company.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
Call with recruiter, 1:1 phone interview with department lead, skills test, two in person interviews. Found that the recruiters are not very knowledgeable about the departments and were often confused.
