Pros
Fico pay reasonably well and the benefits package offered is above average. The environment is marginally better than average and there is plenty of flexibility to create a good work life balance.
Cons
Prepared to be bored. The software is dull. The technology is unexciting. Fico hires people long before it knows what it wants to do with them. Expect no training or support in your first few months. Expect long US time zone conference calls. Meet lots of unhelpful 'that's my job' staff. Fico is a small mid sized company with large company issues. It has a lot of cash reserves and what it does, it does well. It desperately wants to be seen a real player and become a global company but it has process problems, intractable lifer staff, a massive US centric attitude to overcome and niche set of software. Fico has remained the leader by simply buying up the competition. It has not grown because there is demand for it's product, nor because it innovates but simply because there is no one else in the space. And it really feels like it doesn't want to grow outside of it's box.
