I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Not bad - personal fit then a job shop schedule as below
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Let's throw a dose of reality in now:
If you could only allocate drivers on a minimum 8-hour shift basis and you could increase hourly drivers by 20% over the supply listed, how would that change your allocation strategy above?
Please do the following:
1. Explain your methodology for reallocation
2. Suggest the results you expect to result
3. How would you manage a fleet of drivers to do what you want?
Here's a description of the variables:
Compl = the number of completed trips
Eyes = the unique number of people who opened the Uber app
Zeroes = the unique number of people who opened the Uber app but when they did so they saw no cars available. A zero can occur because there is not enough supply (drivers) on the road or because the person looking at the Uber app isn't within a certain mileage range of the available cars.
Avail Drivers = number of drivers on the Uber network in total (receiving either commission or hourly payment)
Hourly = number of drivers on the Uber network receiving hourly payment
So, for example, from this data:
At 7am on May 16th, 6 people opened the Uber app and all of those folks saw cars available (0 zeros). We completed 1 trip. And, we had 6 drivers on the system of which 6 were scheduled and paid hourly. We had no drivers at that hour on the system out of their own free will. In contrast, at 8pm, we had 6 hourly drivers and 2 commission drivers.
Assuming you had hour-by-hour control of hourly drivers, how would you reallocate (not increase - just reallocate) the current supply of hourly drivers (given you have no control over commission hours) to better serve demand?
Please do the following:
1. Describe the metrics you would use to drive this decision
2. Explain your methodology for reallocation
3. Give a brief summary of your reallocation (please give specific examples)
4. Suggest the results you expect to result (please give specific examples)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Aug 2018
Interview
Interview process was typical. Asking leadership, teamwork, and case questions to see how well you problem solve on the spot. The interview process was 3-4 steps, the last being a round robbin with many of the similar roles.

Question 1
Q: If you had to deal with X situation (applicable to business line), how would you work towards a solution?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
Interview process is divided in 5 stages. After you applied for the position if you fulfill the minimum requirement they will send you an online reasoning test. The second stage consist of an standard get to know you interview with someone of the HR department. Third stage is an interview with the head of the department of the position you are applying for. Fourth stage is an assignment you will have 48 hr to complete it. Fifth stage is a workshop in Uber's office with personnel from different department and interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will you implement an Uber service in a new country?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
I applied to Uber on their careers website. It took about a month for a recruiter to reach out to start the process. The process consisted of a phone screen with a recruiter, a skills test, a video conference with someone from the hiring team, and an in person round. I did not make it past the video conference stage. The phone screen was pretty standard. The skills test was timed (2 hours) assessing excel skills using mock data related to the Uber business and critical/strategic thinking skills based on data and general knowledge of Uber's business. The video conference contained questions regarding past data experience and Uber business-specific questions. I found it odd that candidates needed to know so much about Uber's business practices going into interviews, especially in areas that are not public knowledge. The process was pretty quick after the initial contact from the recruiter (2 weeks).
