Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
Very nice interviewers. They asked questions about both soft skills and some coding questions in Java/Python/C++ (you can choose the language) and a SQL question.
The soft skill questions focused on typical things such as my greatest strengths and weaknesses, and naming a time I worked through a roadblock in a group, etc.

- 3.0Predictable Job, Little ProgrammingSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJuly 8, 2025Pros: Steady job that was predictable.Cons: Not a lot of programming involved.
- 4.0Great WLB, but low TC for a tech company.Software Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesMarch 6, 2025Pros: Great work-life balance. Hybrid office. If you need to get something done outside of work, it's not a big deal as long as you get your work done. Benefits are great and very family-friendly. There are many projects to work on and switch around internally.Cons: Lower compensation than I could find elsewhere. Bonuses are slim to none, same with RSUs, which are rare and you are lucky if you get any. And even if you do, most likely it will be a fairly low amount. A lot of work and effort is needed by you to get promoted past band 8/9.
