I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2016
Interview
The process started when I decided to talk with one of the companies engineers at my University's career fair. I gave the guy my resume and a couple weeks later got an email to set up an on-campus interview with one of their engineers.
The on-campus interviewer was helpful when I asked him questions but at moments it was evident that he didn't want to be there. I couldn't blame he assuming he had many more interviews after me so I just decided to ignore it.
A few days later I got another email asked me to do one final interview with an engineering manager. I scheduled the interview as soon as possible since I had other offers with deadlines coming up.
During that final interview, the manager again gave off the vibe that he did not want to be there either. When answering behavioral questions, he would repeatedly interrupt with completely off topic questions. When it came time for the technical questions, all I could hear over the phone with him repeatedly picking up and putting down his phone, presumably checking the time. I was confused with one part of the technical question so I asked him for a clarification...silence. So I asked yet again...still silence. Assuming I wasn't speaking clearly or loud enough I asked him one more time. He then apologized and stated that he had not been listening and wanted me to explain how I had gotten to the point I was at even though I was speaking out loud each and every step as I took it. When the interview time was coming to an end, he abruptly asked if I had any more questions, I said no, and he quickly hung up the phone.
Its been about 3-4 weeks since this final interview and I have still not heard back from anyone in the company. Luckily I had other offers to fallback on but this definitely stood out as the worst interview experience I have had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic behavioral questions followed by a graph question in the first interview and a math question in the second.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY)
Interview
Head hunter contacted me via linkedin and then recruiter from uber contacted me for phone technical interview.
Phone interview was generally fine.. Typical interview questions...
Job requirement was to be expertise in certain languages that I wasn't familiar with. I was willing to learn and recruiter was fine with my willingness to learn new language.
After the phone technical interview, I was declined next day via email. Then, everyone stop communicating with me... :-( It would've been nice if I had some feedback on why...
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Nov 2016
Interview
Interviewed for a SWE Intern position. Two 45-minute phone interviews and then an offer after the second one (had a deadline). I suggest practicing on LeetCode or Hackerrank before interviewing as you gotta be able to think quickly.

Question 1
Pretty simple stuff if you know data structures well and have done LeetCode (Medium) before.
