I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (London, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
I was referred internally and then had a skype call with an HR employee from the London office. It was friendly and lasted about an hour. We discussed my background (studies and work experience) and my knowledge of the company. Did not go so in depth about why I wanted to work there, however, there were questions about how would I convince drivers to use the platform or is surge pricing useful etc. Afterwards I was told I had passed this screening process and needed to complete an excel exam - which was not too horrible if you are familiar with excel, however I was told a week later that I did not qualify to progress to the next stage.
