      Pros

      Great People to work with. Good camaraderie. Great exchange of knowledge and information. Good starting point for a fresher out of college.

      Cons

      Bad compensation policy. Unorganized and short sighted management. Anyone who waves a dollar (promises revenue growth that is) at the CEO is taken into the executive team. No long term thinking. No emphasis on the strong analytics that was the hallmark of Fair Isaac of the past. Only empasis on sales targets and earnings per share. The blame (and hence the layoffs) is passed on to the junior staff (through excuses of cost controls when the management always had a chance to monitor it regularly instead of discovering it right at the end of 2010). Bonuses are a pittance. Most of it being claimed by sales.

      Lack of communication and unrealistic expectations make working at Fair Isaac difficult

      Pros

      Flexibility is good depending on your manager. The office building in San Diego is nice and most of the people are pleasant to work with.

      Cons

      Unrealistic expectations from some managers who don't believe in work/life balance. Communication severely lacking in Finance and Accounting. Employee morale is low and shows no signs of improving. San Diego salaries are low compared to the rest of the region. Company is so focused on sales that support functions are taken for granted.

      It has been unfulfilling, with most of my time being spent trying to find something to do.

      Pros

      They offer decent pay and management is open about how the company is doing, etc. It's also a very flexible company in that most employees have the choice to work from home

      Cons

      It primarily operates in siloes, where the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Most groups are only concerned about their role, and don't stop to consider "Is this good for the company and the client?". There isn't a lot of camaraderie within the groups, either; very few employees can say they have a friend in the workplace.
