I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
One technical phone screen, an hour coding challenge. Then invited on site for a full day of interviews, about 5 or 6 45 minute interviews.
Unfortunately I did not get an offer. They said I did great on the coding challenges, and great cultural fit, but they did not measure me at a senior for architecture.
Difficult communication with the SF recruiter, no email responses for over 2 weeks after my on-site.
I was impressed with the company culture there, and it was a beautiful work atmosphere.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Uber (Bengaluru) in Jul 2016
Interview
I had applied for the Bangalore location and I had a negative experience because of the whole structure of the interview. The interview was for 50 minutes and for the 1st 40 minutes we discussed about my current work and experience. And then I was asked a Algorithmic question to solve and write code in 10 minutes, because the interviewer had an another candidate waiting.

Question 1
How would you design Uber X
(Note that this was a technical architecture design question. It was intentionally open ended, because being able to determine the requirements and tradeoffs for a design is one of the important skills that was being tested for.)
