I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Apr 2016
Interview
Applied with referral from friend.
Start with phone interview with recruiter. Speeding excitement for Uber's mission was important.
Then, I did a code pairing phone screen with a question about palindromes.
Then on-site many rounds of interviews. Problems were easier than I thought and interviewers helped to solve the answers. Showed enthusiasm for Uber.
However, no offer in the end. Perhaps I didn't reach the bar.
The Uber team seemed to be under more stress due to very high growth, but they are intelligent.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for the software engineer role. There was an initial phone screen testing usual algorithms question. Then I was called for the onsite the next day and fixed a time over the next week. Had 5 rounds of interviews with 3 managers asking for design questions and 2 with engineers involving pure algo related questions. The questions were not very hard but very subjective at times.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I got the inside referral and it moved fast. I got the phone call from HR and schedule the phone interview three days later. The onsite interview was five days after the phone interview. The onsite one started from noon after lunch. There were four sessions and the previous three were pleasant. But, the last one with the manager was not good. He gave me a poke face all the way. These people at Uber are very smart which attracts me a lot.
