Good products, let down by lack of realism

Pros
Some great old products with the luxury of being niche and without strong competition. Smart guys on analytics and some staff who work way beyond what should be expected, keeping the ship afloat.
Cons
Terrible lack of realistic technology vision, failing to recognize the build up of problems from the past and not knowing how to safely transform. This is a real problem because it's killing folks at the front line and masking the real issues. The other problem FICO has, more than most, is the panic hire-fire-hire-fire approach to solving the lack of vision at the top. Quarterly firing, annual big firing and bits of hiring in the middle to plug the gaps. But the smart guys don't stay.
