I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Talked to a number of engineers and had an opportunity to ask a number of questions. The interviewers were courteous and answered my questions candidly. I wasn't asked any silly brainteaser questions, and the interviews all seemed focused on my ability to help them. After the interview I had a chance to meet more of the team and see the office.

Question 1
Tell me about a big problem you solved in the past.
Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.
