This was a really confusing process. It started very positively and clearly with an HR interview (who are you, what do you do etc), followed by the maths test. After this a couple of team interviews. The process went very fluidly and gave the impression that the company is decisive and doesn't mess around. All stages are also made very clear in that they want to know that you know the company, it's not the standard set of 'tell me a time when you did x'. I am sure that with this attitude they end up with very focussed candidates who are evangelists of uber.
Despite all of this, the time spent and rapport gained they just ghosted me after this. I have no issue being rejected for a job, but have the decency to tell me. For someone who has been through countless rounds, they deserve at least a simple email saying 'no, rejected'. Just ignoring emails and calls after someone has their invested time into offering their services stinks of an HR operation that is ran like a boiler room. For Uber's own benefit this is probably a very inefficient part of their business, considering they will lose candidates and waste their own time conducting countless interviews, just to ignore someone at the end of it all.
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
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).
