FICO Analytic Science Associate reviews

1. Lack of high level leadership or direction 2. Middle level managers who speak in vague buzzwords and don’t contribute, but still get credit (although I’ve heard this exists at every company) 3. Promotion and salary uncorrelated with performance; more correlated with who likes you or who makes an arbitrary call about whether your work is worthwhile 4. Senseless lay-offs and re-orgs followed by hiring) 5. Lack of focus on research or real innovation 6. Sometimes exploits analyst level workers

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.
