People complain about it all the time. As an outside observer, it seems cutthroat, political, ops > engineering focused, frugal, and the resulting software isn't even that good? Sure maybe you got unlucky during Google or Facebook's interviews, but there are still a ton of unicorns, high growth startups, and (especially now) tons of other public companies you could go work at.
Edit: To eat some humble pie, I actually think Uber contains some of these elements (I would say it's political, has a very competitive culture, is somewhat frugal, and definitely too ops driven). The result is somehow pretty solid though IMO lol. I'm on the way out though.

As far as culture, I’ve had a great experience but maybe I got lucky. Also had great teammates, great culture, managers that listen/change decisions based on my input. Hard for me to complain
Swe?
2. It’s the first big company for most-get into that and then jump to G/FB for 30% more pay and 100% more WLB
