Process
I got the inside referral, and it moved fast.
I got the phone call from HR and scheduled the phone interview three days later. The onsite interview was five days after the phone interview.
The onsite one started from noon, after lunch. There were four sessions, and the previous three were pleasant. But, the last one with the manager was not good. He gave me a pained expression all the way.
These people at Uber are very smart, which attracts me a lot.

Pros: Really smart, great people; one of the best leadership team; challenging problems to tackle; huge market opportunities.
For an individual, there are still opportunities to make a big impact.
Cons: If you're looking for a 9-to-5 job where you can clock in and clock out, Uber is not that place. There are some growing pains, but it's expected for a company going through hypergrowth.
