Good work some smart colleagues but terribly biased and political

Anonymous employee

Recommend

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.

Pros

Excellent work culture Superb benefits from free food to education Flexible timings. Excellent work life balance. You can learn a lot , this is the original big data company before big data was even conceived.

Cons

This is an enterprise software company so it is not like your cool and hip dotcoms. Pace of growth is slow and tied to the companies immediate fortunes.

Pros

Good people to work with, work/life balance

Very short vision sales culture, heavy office politics. Business management made reckless decisions. Sad FICO turns from an analytical company to be very a very short vision, sales driven culture.
