I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Budapest) in Jul 2014
Interview
The whole interview process was rather badly organized and unprofessional. The initial call was delayed and I as an interviewee had to contact them proactively to move forward the application several times.
1st call: general questions about background and why Uber + some brainteasers (how would you launch Uber in your city, what obstacles do you see in your city etc.)
2nd test: the same Excel test as mentioned below. Pretty easy if you have analytical background and you know excel.
What happened after that is pretty unprofessional. Even though I felt that my test result should be positive (I have done similar tests before and always passed - with MBB consulting firms for instance), I didn't get any response. I have been waiting for weeks, wrote email to the HR manager and finally 3 weeks after the test I received a general email that I won't be processed to the next round. No explanation, no apologies for the delay in response.
If you know these HR softwares at startups, you know that they just have to click on a button and they send a generic email to everyone in that bucket. I received such an email. I understand that you are busy, but you could at least write 1 line of personal explanation if I also take the time to prepare for your interviews.
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.

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).
