Great company, if you're a self-starter

Pros

Flexible work schedule, minimal micro-management, decent benefits, ability to work from home. There are A LOT of very intelligent folks here, who are very passionate about big data, analytics, fraud, etc. Many of them have PhDs and are not the most social folks you've ever met. This is a company that values direct answers and self management. This is also a company that I believe is going to be better and bigger, but a little awkward right now.

Cons

If you succeed, everyone succeeds with you, if you fail, you fail alone. Very little, if any direction from management, or leadership for that matter. There is a lack of communication from leaders, no road maps, and terrible performance review process. Pays well, but little to no raises once you're in. Also, it's a constant battle to acquire resources.

Pros

Some smart people. Manager knew nothing about the technology, so you can do ppt to get work done. That will save you a lot.

Cons

low pay, funny bonus, you manager pretend to know everything. This company will have no big change in next 10 years.

Pros

I like working for FICO for the challenging clients with whom I've gotten to work. Always cutting edge technology has been utilized based upon the client solution and expectations. Because of this my skill set has always improved and I've been exposed to diverse software. The office culture has improved the last few years with a CEO focused on keeping talent rather than with layoffs. Flexible working hours are a benefit too for work/life balance.

Cons

Stingy with money for the working class employees. It's hard to keep up with the cost of living when during an annual review there is no raise given. Company policy states they don't believe in giving a cost of living increase. Ironically there always seems to be plenty of money for the executive leader's salaries, bonuses and stock options.
