I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2013
Interview
The process is very generalized even though the product team structure has a feature orientation. The pre onsite process entails : 1 HR Screener, 1 HWK assignment and 1 phone interview with a PM. The HR partner was not very professional and often took a week to return any emails after initiating the interview process. The phone interview itself focused on the basic PM questions (name a few products and explain what you like don't like and what you would do better, what else would you change with Uber, what is your process like at your current company). The evaluation criteria was not really clear and the interview was conducted by a junior level PM. The Product team is very young and does not boast any Google/Facebook pedigree on the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There is a data point that indicates that there are more Uber drop-offs at the airport than pick-ups from the airport. Why is this the case and what would you do within the product to change that?
Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Jam (which is too much work), Peer, Engineering, Data, and Skip Level.
A lot of people you need to impress and need to align. They seem to be very afraid of pull the trigger and make a decision.

Question 1
Mostly about past experiences. Also, some product sense and product strategy questions in their specific area. Very repetitive.
It was okay until the "Jam" session. Recruiter was very responsive and nice until not anymore after the hiring manager decide to no move forward.
Jam session was very confusing and misleading, with barely no questions, no guidance jeopardizing the flow.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (Amsterdam)
Interview
The process starts with the HR screening interview, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, followed by a take-home assignment you are given for a week (7 days), and followed 2 or 3 more interviews
