Pros: The base salary for a Junior Software Engineer is competitive enough for Austin, TX. You can get decent medical coverage too. The paychecks are always on time, which is a big plus in the mid-sized tech scene.
Cons: The bonuses are pretty minimal, almost non-existent for entry-level tech roles. Retirement matching isn't great, and paid time off felt a bit stingy. Dental and vision benefits were just basic.
Advice to Management: Seriously look into improving the 401k match and offer more competitive PTO. It'd help a lot with retention, especially for software engineering talent.
