Pros

I like working for FICO for the challenging clients with whom I've gotten to work. Always cutting edge technology has been utilized based upon the client solution and expectations. Because of this my skill set has always improved and I've been exposed to diverse software. The office culture has improved the last few years with a CEO focused on keeping talent rather than with layoffs. Flexible working hours are a benefit too for work/life balance.

Cons

Stingy with money for the working class employees. It's hard to keep up with the cost of living when during an annual review there is no raise given. Company policy states they don't believe in giving a cost of living increase. Ironically there always seems to be plenty of money for the executive leader's salaries, bonuses and stock options.

Pros

Technically challenging place to work. Cutting edge in some areas and well behind in others. Co workers are good, helpful and friendly.

Cons

Lots of layoffs. Management by cost cutting only. Medical benefits are not much better than nothing. Employes are always expendable when it comes to making the bottom line. Salary increases are only for the highest performers which are kept artificially low through a quota systems. Not unusual to go for years without receiving any thing more than small a bonus.
