Process
Phone interview with a member of the Uber engineering team, lasting about one hour.
Online coding of a solution to a problem on HackerRank was required. You needed working code to move to the next round. Mine did not work, so I was not selected for the next round.
This is a pretty standard hiring process, common among most tech companies in Silicon Valley.
