I got E4 offer from Uber and Facebook. Uber's TC is slightly higher than Facebook's. I like the work of the Uber team. For Facebook, I have to attend Bootcamp and then pick a team.
Facebook:
Pros:
Brand name
Benefits
Cons:
When I interviewed at FB, most of the interviewers mentioned about "rewriting" code. So, I wonder whether the problem they try to solve is interesting. So, I not sure if this will help me build my skills. (FB folks, please share your view)
Uber:
Pros:
Work/Team looks interesting.
Cons:
Stock may tank (It is a risk which I think it's ok to take)
Layoffs
Commute to SF (I live in South Bay)
I am confused between Facebook and Uber now. Please help me with your votes and reasons guys...

3 reasons -
1) Commute is a big part of daily life and we often weigh it very lightly.
2) At fb you still have a chance to find a good team during the bootcamp.
3) Uber is at a stage somewhat like snap a couple years back. Draining money with no clear path to profitability. Whether they can turn it around, only future knows. That is a risk which in my opinion is greater than having a hard time at fb.
I understand working at fb has its own cons. Mainly wlb gets screwed and folks getting piped more often. Although I think not all teams are that way.
Also I would negotiate harder with Uber to get more stocks, to counter the risk of stock tanking more. TC for Uber has to be 10-20% more than fb, to make that move enticing. Just my thought. Decision lies with you.
Refreshers will likely be better.
Less risky, more stable.
will move faster.
Amazing infrastructure for dev.
For Uber:
More risk, also means potentially more reward.
More relaxed work environment regarding to WLB.
More ownership.
More problems to solve. A lot of problems have already been solved at FB. Uber is much younger than they look.
