I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Uber in Oct 2014
Interview
I was contacted on LinkedIn about about an open position from a local recruiter, and set up a phone interview. I did all my research, read all the recent press (both good and bad). Recruiter spoke mostly about the role, and said it was just a pre-screen. She didn't get much into my actual experience. She did mention they have abnormal work hours.I asked questions about their interview process (where candidates are given an assignment), how employees deal with protests outside their office. (Two in a four a week period) I asked about next steps, and when I'd get the assignment every person on Glassdoor mentioned; the CEO preferred assignments as a great way to know a candidate. She said she'd talk to the team and get back. I never heard from her again.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY)
Interview
Uber seems to vary by location on when they will contact you after submitting your application. San Francisco got back to me the next day, while NYC took a month or so. The first step is a phone interview with a recruiter to better get to know you. They will then send a worksheet exercise that goes over how you will respond to different customer situations, as well as your feedback on analytical information. This can take around 1-2 hours to complete, and I recommend you do your research to understand the pricing structure. I then received a Skype interview and eventually an in-person interview.

Question 1
During a phone interview: An Uber driver complains that a passenger vomits in their back seat. Do you help pay for the damages? If so, where do you get the money?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2014
Interview
I received an email from an executive in California on a Friday telling me about a position in my state. He responded quickly sent me plenty of information and then let me know someone from my state would be reaching out to me to talk about the position in more detail, he even included their contact information. That was it. I sent follow up emails to ensure the position hadn't been filled or that they were moving in another direction. No response.
