Comparing offers: advice/information please! Google vs Gusto

Hi! I have to make a decision ASAP about some offers I have on the table and I’m having trouble deciding as they are very different opportunities. The offers are with #gusto (aka #zenpayroll ), #capitalone, #google, and #thirtymadison. For context, I’m prioritizing learning opportunities (in tech but also domain or product skills), growth within a company, a warm/inclusive environment, and a positive social impact. Of course I’m also thinking about long term prospects, so reputation and tech stack do still matter. Compensation is *not* going to be the deciding factor for me and whichever company I move forward with I would negotiate my offer with, as well. Since I know it’s expected here, I’m posting the basic offer details.

I have 2 yoe at FB as a SWE and I am planning on leaving (staying at FB is not something I’m considering)

Gusto: L2 SWE
TC: ~250k (base, equity, bonus)
Notes: great people, mission oriented, but would I get bored of working at a payroll company?

Thirty Madison: L2 SWE
TC: hard to estimate, depends on value of options, ~180k (base, equity, bonus, signing bonus)
Notes: riskier of options, but closer to direct impact working in the health-tech space

Capital one: senior swe
TC: ~180k
Notes: Within a small team at the company, interesting opportunity with stability and good WLB

Google: L3 (early career)
TC: ~250k
Notes: Good opportunity to learn more tech skills at scale, system design work, probably not as much individual impact but stability and would be easy to find a job after

I’d say google and gusto are probably the top 2 right now, but they’re very, very different. Can people please help me weigh pros/cons? Would be great to also hear from someone who had to make a similar decision? Gusto isn’t a tiny startup so I’m not so worried about stability!
I understand I’m very lucky to be in this position after a lot of hard work, and I’m very thankful for the opportunities.
