An Uber recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn and scheduled a non-technical interview. He mostly talked about my background and things that I work on at my current job. Then they scheduled a technical telephonic interview. The interview pattern was pretty standard. I wrote programs on a shared screen. There were 2 simple programming questions (language of my choice) and one for a system design. He also asked me questions about what I work on and explained what his team works on. I got the response almost immediately that I had cleared the interview. They asked me for dates to fly to their HQ. Uber doesn't book anything for your travels, you are expected to book the flight, hotel and anything else you need. Every interview lasts for about 45 mins and there are about 5 interviews. There is a lunch break with the team for about half hour but other than that the interviews are back to back. The interview almost always started with questions about the most interesting project I worked on. That went on for about half of the interview. Then there was a programming question. The thing that was different here was that you can use your own laptop and any IDE of your choice. You can also Google for things - obviously not the algorithms but there are programming questions that may need additional input. I chose Eclipse. The good part about this is that you don't have to remember any functions or syntax (thank you intellisense!). The bad part (I thought) was that your program must work by the end of the interview. You get anywhere between 10 to 25 mins to do it. Write your code faster so you get time to debug your code. The interviewers were really nice to talk to. Very friendly and not at all arrogant. I was happy with the overall experience at the interviews but the scheduling process was really stressful. This is not a forum to complain but be prepared for this - They didn't send me a confirmation until 2 days before interview. I had actually lost hope. I had to book my travel and fly across the country in a day. It was a bit stressful.
