I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Mar 2017
Interview
I received an interview via employee referral. First, I had a phone screen with technical recruiter who just discussed my resume and asked some basic questions regarding my skills, programming languages I am comfortable with, etc.
At the end of the phone-screen, they sent me a technical challenge.
Question 1: SQL queries.
Question 2: KPI metric design/evaluation.
Question 3: Short programming assignment involving a ML question on a synthetic Uber dataset.
After technical challenge, they scheduled another phone interview with a data scientist. In this interview, we mainly discussed my research project because it was closely related to Uber. We went into details of somethings. Overall, it was a very nice discussion giving me an insight into team structure and kind of work each team is doing in their Seattle office.
I was offered an internship after this phone interview. Throughout the interview process, I received very good feedback on how I did in each round, and the turnaround time between each interview round and their feedback was impressively small. It was a pretty fast process.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I chose to decline the offer, as offer negotiation failed.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Uber in Dec 2016
Interview
I didn't even finish my online application, and I got a phone screen. Then a coding/modelling assignment, then technical phone interview. During the technical interview, my interviewer told me to spend much more time on the assignment than instructed in the document. He didn't know that I had already completed the assignment. He told me I would hear back in three days.
20 days later, the recruiter told me they would have a decision by the end of the day. After a few more days I had to follow up again. Extremely disorganized process.
