I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Jul 2013
Interview
I had the same experience as everyone else before me. I wish I'd paid attention to these reviews on Glassdoor before I spent eight hours perfecting the creative exercise they sent me after the first interview.
A second interview was quickly set up, though, this time it was a video interview over Skype with a community manager in the office I was interviewing for. The interview was very short, with no real substantive questions. I didn't feel like I could give very good answers to the same generic questions without being completely redundant. Interviewer seemed to be in a hurry, so there wasn't very much dialogue.
Two days later, I got a generic email from a recruiter in SF saying they wouldn't be moving forward with my application. Pretty disappointing experience, as seems to be the case with everyone else here.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process is a complete waste of time. Believe the reviews on Glassdoor. They do not want to hire anyone unless you are in this position at another extremely successful startup.
My first interview was with HR. I then received the project that composed of blog posts, emails, marketing ideas and a promotional math problem. I then had a skype interview with no camera on and I could not hear the person on the other end. I then had an in person interview at the San Francisco office. I interviewed with 7 community managers. They never once asked about my past experience or why I believe I am qualified for the position. 3 of the community managers would not even look at me, at least pretend to care! This whole process took about 5 weeks. They then proceeded to use two of my ideas from the project. A week later they got back to me with another project. I refused to move on.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
Spoke with person for round 1 - after brief 10 minutes he/she said they would be forwarding me the creative assignment. extensive and ridiculous - i should have listened to all of those who came before me - you work hard to only find out that the company couldn't care less and will likely send you some generic email saying they've opted to go with someone else. entire process occurred within 1 month.

Question 1
the creative project is an unethical method of stealing the ideas from those who aren't currently employed with the company. majority of questions on sheet focus on twitter responses, customer service and math.
