I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Referred by a relative of an Uber employee. Spoke to the guy to whom I was referred for an informational phone screen. Then, I had a call with an engineer, which was set up by HR. I'm really bad at technical interviews, so they chose not to move ahead with my application at the time, although the recruiter who set up the coding interview said they would reach out again in a few months.
Had I done well on the test, I would've flown out to California for a day of interviews and stuff at Uber HQ. It's a quick and streamlined hiring system.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a restaurant menu and a budget, output all the possible ways to use up the budget.
Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.

Interview
The interview process begins with an initial BFS screening to evaluate overall fit and relevant experience, followed by three virtual onsite interviews that focus on coding ability, an in-depth discussion of technical background and past projects, as well as behavioral and collaboration-related questions to assess communication and teamwork skills.
