Evaluate single job offer vs multiple job offers are totally different things.
Some of the parameters that can be used for evaluating a job offer:
1. Startups:
How much money the company has in terms of its burn-rate? Given a choice, I would not join a startup that is running out of funding and next round of funding is nowhere in sights.
2. Growth in team: Are you replacing someone or it's a new position. If I am replacing someone the scope of work will be well defined. It will be worth checking why the earlier person left. If it is a new position, check how the team will grow. If a team grows, earlier employees tend to get bigger roles.
3. Compensation and other benefits: This is mostly a relative study, but I would not join a company that is not really giving me a decent raise in terms of salary or stocks. I have not seen people not join a company for healthcare benefits unless it is a really low paying job.
4. Commute and other flexibilities: You may be ok with commuting for an hour, but if you are asked to reach office at 9 am, your 1 hour commute might get converted into a 2 hour commute. So check out what are reasonable work hours and how flexible is the company in terms of working from home, sick leave and PTOs in general.
5. Manager and upper management: It is not very easy to figure out how the company management is, by taking to someone who is making you the job offer. Check our reviews on glassdoor and similar sites. Take them with a pinch of salt, because those reviews are either from frustrated employees or employees who were requested to write reviews.
6. Work: Join a company that will help you grow both in terms of compensation and skills. A general rule of thumb is to see if taking this job will help you in finding your next job.
