I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
First, talked with the HR person so that she could get to know me, and understand what I'm looking for. Next step was a phone screen with a team member on that team. The interview was mainly what I did at my current job, and a tech question afterwards where we did some pair programming.

Question 1
Given a text message and max number of characters, implement how the phone company can represent a given message.
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.
