Pros

The pay was amazing, I was promoted 3 times in my 4 year career. I would get pay rises most performance cycles. I only moved away from FICO as I was headhunted by some major players like Google/Microsoft, otherwise nothing would have turned my head. Lastly, Boomerangs! Lots of people who join the company have worked at FICO before, people keep on coming back to FICO. I'm sure to go back after a few years, the culture is too good.

Cons

Constant Change - Yes constant change is frustrating but they are a technology company, they run with the times and are constantly innovating otherwise they would be outdated & wouldn't make any profit. Work Life Balance - Poor overall BUT if you want to be home by 5:30pm every day then join the public sector, you shouldn't clock watch at FICO. Clock watchers BEWARE, Lazy people BEWARE, Coasters BEWARE
