Hunter directly sent me an email in linkedin and asked if I'm interested in an opportunity from a famous startup from Silicon Valley - Uber. I said yes. Then, one week later, Uber HR, a nice guy, gave me a call, lasting for 60 minutes. He asked me to quickly go through my study and working experience from high school to current job, followed by some common questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
Contacted via LinkedIn by an internal recruiter. A quick phone screen with the recruiter led to a face-to-face interview with a senior level Uber-ite, which lasted about an hour. After the interview I was asked to take the online analytics assessment. So far so good, but a month after the online test I have yet to receive any feedback from Uber. I have written the recruiter to ask what's up but have received no reply.

Question 1
The analytics exercise is not hard, per se, but the 2 hour limit can catch you out.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Jul 2013
Interview
I was referred to an Uber HR manager through a current employee after submitting a CV and cover letter. An initial informal phone conversation was scheduled very quickly. I had expected the call to be purely informational, but I ended up getting asked quite a few interview-type questions. Next came completing a a timed exam that required me to analyse some data and write up my conclusions. Although I passed the test, my conversations with HR stalled, and they were not proactive about advancing me any further through the recruitment process. Not sure if I simply did not fit what they were looking for, but if this was the case, it would have been more professional of them to have simply rejected me outright rather than leaving me hanging.

Question 1
How would you approach rolling out an ultra high-end service line within Uber (i.e. one that offered Rolls Royce or Bentley cars)?
