Pros

They ease you into things. You'll have a mentor, several senior devs to ask questions, plus your boss. You get plenty of opportunities to grow your skills, try working for different teams, etc. They certainly don't work you to death like some other engineering companies.

Cons

The salary for the Austin location is not very competitive. Although after about 6 months of working, they gave a 25% raise after doing "market research" about local SE salaries for new college hires, it still doesn't touch what other bigger companies pay.

Advice to Management

Pay more for your software engineers, or you'll likely lose them.
