Benefits such as health, Commission, or bonuses?

It's all going to depend on where you end up employed as to what benefits you get. Health insurance is very standard for professionals in the software engineering field (in Canada, US and Western Europe at least - I can't speak for other countries on that). Commission is not applicable as the software engineer is not typically directly involved in the sales of anything. Bonuses will depend on the company. Some companies have annual bonuses tied to how the company is doing or your performance or both, and other companies to not.

Other benefits you may see as a software engineer may include stock options (highly dependant on the company), retirement fund help/matching (RRSP matching in Canada, 401k in the US), gym membership, cellphone/BlackBerry, child care and more, although none of these additional benefits are standard for all companies.
