Pros

1. Decent salary 2. Employee stock purchase plan 3. You will get to work on niche technologies 4. Bonus

Cons

1. Team culture is not good. Team is not supportive in sharing knowledge with other team members 2. Team is resource constrained, they do not have enough engineers to support 24*7 3. Product support team works like a call center. They pass on the issues to SREs/ DevOps teams without doing any initial triaging or not even collecting enough details from customer 4. Petty politics by midlevel management. Managers show favoritism by awarding promotions, spot awards to some employees 5. Not so good work life balance. You will be asked to work on your day offs but may not get a comp off for it. You might also end up working alone in shifts without even able to take breaks 6. Night shift for some roles

Pros

FICO is a great place to work as a software engineer. I had a very positive experience collaborating with smart, thoughtful teammates on technically interesting problems that have real-world impact at scale. The engineering culture values code quality, thoughtful design, and pragmatic decision-making over hype. Leadership was supportive, expectations were clear, and there was a strong emphasis on ownership and accountability. Overall, it’s an excellent environment for engineers who enjoy working on meaningful systems in a stable, well-run organization.

Cons

Slower pace of change compared to startups or high-growth tech companies, which can feel restrictive if you prefer rapid experimentation. Legacy systems and tech debt in parts of the organization that require patience and careful refactoring. Process-heavy at times, with multiple reviews or approvals slowing delivery. Less emphasis on cutting-edge frameworks—the focus is more on stability and correctness than chasing the newest tools.
