Google L4 SWE III Nov 2023 vs Uber SDE 2

Base - 51LPA Bonus - 15% of Base RSUs - 150K USD over 4 years Joining Bonus - 10L

Initially recruiter had offered 81LPA but I shared my hesitation to join the team offered because I had read a very serious red flag review about the manager of the team and tech lead on teammatemeter.com (refer the screenshot below). I had requested for another team but the recruiter said this is the only team available. Since I had another offer from Uber (72LPA), I declined the Google offer because I didn't wanted to risk my career. Next day the recruiter returned with improved offer but same team.

I'm totally confused what to do. Should I take the risk for extra 19L or play it safe by joining Uber because ultimately the manager and teammates matter a lot.

This post looks shady and more like an advert for teammatemeter.com than a genuine question.
