I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I went through the entire interview process for this role with Uber. After the interview finished, I followed up thanking them for their time. I did not receive a response for over a week, or any contact for that matter. When I did finally receive a response, it was a generic rejection from the "recruiting team" not even the individual recruiter herself. I believe after going through an entire interview process and waiting on a final response, an individualized response that didn't come from a robot is deserved.

Interview
I applied through an employee referral. From the time the referral was submitted to the time I had a call scheduled was 2 weeks. Had a pretty standard intro call with one of the sourcers. I told her about my background, she asked some questions, I answered, and then she explained what the role entails and shared some additional info about the company and what projects they were working on. I explained how/why I was qualified for the position and knew I would be a good fit for the company as I had some friends there who encouraged me to apply. Everything about the call was pretty normal except that the interviewer seemed completely uninterested in being on the phone from the get go. She was a bit robotic and monotone and I got the impression she didn't even have my resume in front of her. All that aside, I answered all the questions honestly and intelligently and felt that I had helped her get out of her "mood" as we had some casual banter back and forth. The call ended with her explaining next steps which would be a video call with the hiring manager and then an onsite after that. I was up front with her and explained that I was planning to wrap up my job search by early next week as my interview process with other companies were also nearing the end. I honestly thought I nailed the interview and despite her poor mood, thought I turned it around--the way she left things led me to believe I would for sure get another interview.
I sent her a followup email a couple hours after the call thanking her for her time and letting her know I was even more excited to join the company after discussing the role with her. I still haven't heard anything and it's over a week later. I can take a hint, but it's very frustrating when you can't help but question if the reason you didn't receive another interview was because you had the wrong person facilitating the call. Equally as frustrating when they never communicate an actual decision; I'd rather have a canned "we've decided to go a different direction" email than silence.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Jul 2016
Interview
I applied through the Uber site, was invited for a first video interview (questions preset, you record answers). Second phone interview was with my department's hiring manager. Third and fourth interviews were with senior recruiting leads for the region. They ask basic questions, very casual and friendly but are looking for the way you answer.
