I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jul 2016
Interview
Quick phone call with third party staffer. Given homework assignment. I was to create a presentation describing a drivers thought process turning left at a 4-way stop. I apparently passed and was called in for an interview at their Pittsburgh office. They even offered a free Uber ride to the interview (I live out of the range of Uber drivers, so did not partake). Interview itself was two parts. One part was a very conversational interaction with a kid that seemed more nervous to be there than I was. He was nice and on point though. Second part was with a more confident individual with whom I was asked to perform a driving exercise. Upon return we waited for around 15 minutes for an HR rep. Not sure why, the HR rep simply walked me out and said I'd hear back by the next day. 2 Hours later I was given an offer.
I declined the offer. They were unwilling to negotiate pay. The listing said $20-$24 per hour. I have an engineering degree, experience in gathering and presenting data, and supervisory experience. If they unwilling to pay me more than 20, I am not sure what it would take to get more. I feel like it was a marketing technique to encourage applicants (like myself) who wouldn't have applied at $20/hr. I was interested because I thought it could be a foothold to get into their other openings that I am more interested in. They wouldn't even talk about that possibility during the interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Uber (Tempe, AZ) in May 2017
Interview
I got an email from a recruiting agency asking if I was interested. I responded that I was, and was contacted to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was in two parts over two days with a short multiple choice technical quiz taken in the evening between the phone screenings.
After that I was contacted again to set up an in person interview. The in person interview consisted of three parts: first you go into a room and are asked some general interview questions and some situational questions, then you are asked to take a typing test to see how fast and how accurate you type, and the third portion is a driving test to see your driving ability while they ask you some technical questions about driverless vehicles.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (Pittsburgh, PA)
Interview
I applied on their website and received an email from 3rd party recruiting company. We have about 30 mins phone interview first. The process was more like "reading job description". Cmon, I would NOT apply this position if I didn't know what am gonna do. The process was stupid. After long time reading. The recruiter set up an online test from a 3rd party agency.
The test was not hard, more like driving test, how to choose the shortest way, some basic Linux commands, like copy files or something. You can google it when you are having test.
Then another interview, all behavior questions. Believe me, this recruiter has no idea what engineering is. Sounded really stupid.
Then Uber HR sent me an email to set up a driving test at a nearby race center.
We candidates all drove car, to do some ABS testing, turning. I believe I did a really good job. Then I received an rejection letter after 2 weeks. I sent emails to recruiter and uber HR. They didn't even reply a damn word. They didn't pick up phone calls either. What the hell.
I read something about UBER collected driving data for free through this. Now i can confirm that.

Intense interview process including a PreQual, Phone Interview, then Panel Interview at Uber. Prequalification was difficult, and was pass/fail. NDA was required at the start of the process. The entire process took about 2 weeks from start to finish, including all scheduling.
