Pros

Nice office location Great coworkers Good compensation

Cons

I have seen a continual pattern of laying off in the United States and hiring in India for several years Management asked employees to go on Glassdoor and post positive reviews so that FICO had a better image. General consensus is that annual raises and annual bonus should be expected to be minimal Company does not support flex time and CEO has cancelled employee work from home

Pros

At FICO it's common to work with big businesses. It's fun to know that your company is providing some of the behind-the-scenes capabilities to enable these household names. While FICO is largely known for scores, their technology products are pretty diverse and there are a lot of interesting projects to get involved in. While a lot of my work can be somewhat repetitive there are new and interesting problems to solve all the time. My immediate management is great, very involved and aware of issues--but also providing plenty of autonomy to do my job. My colleagues are also very capable and I very much enjoy working with them.

Cons

Salaries for technical positions are a bit underwhelming. Paired with the high deductibles and limited coverage from the benefit package this can really hurt a family. The final significant issue is there can be a lot of red tape to getting anything done and this can be stressful when customers are demanding answers and the 5 different departments involved aren't moving quickly.
