I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY) in Sep 2014
Interview
Had an initial phone interview with someone in their LA office. Was then invited for in person interview in the NY office. Be aware their NY office is not in Manhattan as one would think, it is in Queens. I emailed the person I scheduled my interview with to ask if their was parking, she said she had no idea because she was stationed in Washington D.C. I attempted to look for street parking, no spots, and found out there was a lot right across the street! Wish someone would have told me! Walked in, drivers were running around everywhere. It was a mad house, I could not tell who actually worked there. Finally found someone who worked there. Went into a small room with 3 women to interview. Very awkward and unprofessional interview. All 3 sat on their phones the entire time texting. Just kept asking me if I had questions. When I asked why the chose to work at UBER one woman got very flustered and her response was "I feel like I am on an interview." I could not wait to get out of there.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Londres, Angleterre) in Feb 2015
Interview
The first stage of the interview process is a phone interview. You are to book time in the recruiter's calendar online which incidentally is very busy so that's probably a good measure of how much Uber is growing/how competitive it is for each role).
The call process should not be underestimated. [From my experience] They will ask why you're attracted to Uber, then test your knowledge of the platform and see how you're able to think about the challenges facing its growth. Make sure you are familiar with all the Uber jargon so that you sound the part at the very least.

Recruiter -> Hiring Manager-> onsite-> hiring manager-> recruiter
The team was super creative, focused and inspiring to talk to. A bunch of talented folks.
The "technical" questions came from the devops team who were the most underwhelming of those I spoke to - they were transactional and applied whack-a-mole logic to managing a fast growing environment. To pass the devops challenge I had to follow their approach to managing their estate -visualize all, alert on everything so someone can see them(?) and whack them faster. I am sure it's just a pocket.
Overall, they operate in chaos but able to move the needle - a great experience and great team.
