Pros

FICO is a good place to recruit talent that is most likely looking to move on.

Cons

FICO used to be a wonderful place to work and grow but recent cost cutting measures have left the company and rotten shell of its former self. A majority of the skilled and hard working staff have jettison from the company, with more leaving every week.

FICO can't figure out if they are a consulting or software shop...

Pros

Name recognition, some market leading products

Cons

All business segments under attack by either FICO's own inability to deliver or competitors nibbling away at their footprint. Company has a hard time generating top line growth - consequently they manage cost (and workforce) agressively in order to look good... essentially the company shrunk by 1/3 over the last 3 years.

Slow pace and slow career development

Pros

The people there are very smart, most are easy to work with. The technical aspect of the work is very interesting and challenging.

Cons

The company is relatively mature, therefore slow paced. The financial reward is not competitive. The career development is unclear and unsupported due to frequent re-organization from 2006 to 2011.
