I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber in May 2016
Interview
I applied online ,after a week I got a call from the HR. I was scheduled two telephonic interviews.
I was give a coding question on patients arriving to hospital as a Poisson distribution and doctor attending the patient as uniform distribution and write code to display the average wait time of the patient and total number of patients that are attended on a random day. The second interview was deep dive into Machine Learning, about PCA, equations on PCA, different features that could be given to a Uber driver to predict if the driver accepts the request or not. Multicollinearity, how to solve the problem. Time series forecasting techniques.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber in May 2016
Interview
After applying 3 days got an non-technical phone interview. No self introduction, just start with describing my recent project, silence, then described another project, silence, and what did you find from your projects, then suggest me try other positions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Amsterdam) in Mar 2016
Interview
In-person sync, take-home test (easy for anyone with a data science background), in-person round of 6 interviews. I enjoyed most of the interviews, but one person in particular was exceptionally arrogant, condescending, and made me feel from the first minute as though him talking to me was a monumental waste of his precious time. Needless to say, that turned me off from the company entirely.

What would you choose as the key metric for [insert some new Uber feature]?
