      Comp not lucrative for sales

      Senior client partner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good solutions Smart people working behind the scenes developing new solutions Decent 401K through Fidelity

      Cons

      No succession planning for mission critical roles Compensation for sales is no longer 50/50 split (salary/variable) instead 40% of your variable is based on things you have little to no control over Very poor sales leadership with recent riffs eliminating much of the more tenured personnel Healthcare benefits are poor - High deductible plan requires $3,600 out of pocket before they pay anything beyond wellness check up

      Strong Engineering Culture with Real-World Impact

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      FICO is a great place to work as a software engineer. I had a very positive experience collaborating with smart, thoughtful teammates on technically interesting problems that have real-world impact at scale. The engineering culture values code quality, thoughtful design, and pragmatic decision-making over hype. Leadership was supportive, expectations were clear, and there was a strong emphasis on ownership and accountability. Overall, it’s an excellent environment for engineers who enjoy working on meaningful systems in a stable, well-run organization.

      Cons

      Slower pace of change compared to startups or high-growth tech companies, which can feel restrictive if you prefer rapid experimentation. Legacy systems and tech debt in parts of the organization that require patience and careful refactoring. Process-heavy at times, with multiple reviews or approvals slowing delivery. Less emphasis on cutting-edge frameworks—the focus is more on stability and correctness than chasing the newest tools.
