Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.

Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
