I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2016
Interview
The process took a month. Included an analytics test, a phone screen with a recruiter, a phone screen with the hiring manager and 5 rounds of video interviews for the final round. The recruiting processes at Uber don't seem very mature/organized relative to what I've seen at other organizations of similar sizes/structures. Also, the company is obviously frugal given that the entire interview process (upto the final round) was done online/via telephone. Some of the interviewers seemed outright bored, which was offensive to the interviewee. The assignment work and interview questions appeared to be oriented towards crowdsourcing competitive intelligence, which seems outright unethical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Multiple questions about processes/infrastructure at prior employers through which they seemed to be benchmarking their own existing processes/infrastructure
HR screening - take home assignment before 1 day with HM - Hiring Manager round(Behavioral + sharing of assignment - another take home case - presentation with HM, skip manager, 2 member/leader from other teams

Question 1
they will deep dive into your experiences, also how frequent you use those data tools
Five to seven rounds of interviews, tests and presentations just to get a “no, thank you” at the end without much of a feedback. Acceptable for regular recruitment but not after weeks dedicated to the process.
Pretty easy at early stages - just need to know about supply and demand basics. Analytics test is harder, but manageable if you know Excel well. They are definitely interested in your problem solving abilities and ability to "get things done" with minimal supervision.
