What project is the internal tool based on? Mattermost?

Yes, the internal tool is called uChat and it's based on Mattermost but Uber heavily contributed to Mattermost to make it scale. More details here: https://eng.uber.com/uchat/
It was bad the first few months, but except for a recently publicized utterly embarrassing security vulnerability, in the last 2 months it's been working great. The mobile app is now much, much better than the HipChat ever was.
