Pros

Nice office location Great coworkers Good compensation

Cons

I have seen a continual pattern of laying off in the United States and hiring in India for several years Management asked employees to go on Glassdoor and post positive reviews so that FICO had a better image. General consensus is that annual raises and annual bonus should be expected to be minimal Company does not support flex time and CEO has cancelled employee work from home
