The reputation McDonalds enjoys across UT wasn't bought; the ego-light Orem team earned it one technology project at a time. We value clear writing and honest conversation over status games and politics.

Compensation lands at $52,000 - $80,000, mentorship is built in, and the path from here to senior technology work is mapped, not vague.
