SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Compare the work you will actually do, the manager you will learn from, the skills you will build, compensation, schedule, stability and realistic next steps. A recognizable brand can help open conversations, but a narrow role with little ownership may not develop you as quickly as a smaller organization where you run meaningful projects. Ask who has succeeded in each role and where they went next. If possible, choose the environment that will give you strong examples, good mentorship and responsibility you can explain clearly in your next interview. The logo matters, but it should not be the only thing on the decision sheet.
