I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
They hire anyone because anyone can follow basic instructions. They spend billions on getting people to sign up as Uber drivers in order to keep the demand for the job high, so they can keep the pay low, INSTEAD OF paying Uber drivers more. The churn rate of Uber drivers is incredibly high and I have never met anyone that thought they were being paid fairly, especially after calculating their expenses.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (Denver, CO) in Feb 2017

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Orlando, FL) in Aug 2015
Interview
You don't get interviewed at all. Basically if you have a good driving record with barely no infractions or accidents, valid driver's license for more than one year, a newer model car (2006 or newer), good criminal background, and pass the screening then you are hired. It may take up yo two weeks for all of everything to come back and then you're on the road.
