Pros

Markets are interesting. Some of the products are using new technology. Moving to a cloud environment is providing some great learning opportunities.

Cons

Not a lot of advancement opportunities. Benefits are just so/so and seem a bit low for a company of this size. Raises have been extremely low or nonexistent for the past 4 years. Bonuses are low compared to other companies in the area.

Good work some smart colleagues but terribly biased and political

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) You will meet some very smart and motivated colleagues who you will be glad to work with 2) You will be involved with exciting and interesting projects

Cons

1) Very Political - Your career path is not determined by your performance or output but by how likeable you are to your upper management. Because of this, FICO is finding it hard to hire and retain talent 2) The long termers at FICO survive not by their skill set or performance but by playing the political games of the upper management 3) No bonuses or raises for US staff - They will always find lame reasons at the end of the year to deny you a raise or bonus.

Make false promise and ask you to change technology. Need to work on multiple projects simultaneously, also it depends on manager to switch projects very often.
