Pros

The head of talent acquisition recently sent a company wide email asking us to review FICO on glassdoor so that FICOs ratings could improve, so here I am doing my part. The pros: the company is doing great. It seems like every quarter our revenue and profits are up. The people I work with are great. I really like my boss and my co-workers. Our IT guy is probably the most responsive IT guy I've ever dealt with. He answers your questions fast.

Cons

The benefits are a joke: -401k match is average -paid time off is average -Our healthcare plan has a huuuuge annual deductible (several thousands) that we have to pay 100% of before our healthcare plan pays anything. -FICO does allow me to contribute to an HSA pretax which is nice but our deductible is waaay over the max that I'm allowed to contribute to my HSA. -FICO does put in a few hundred to my HSA ever year, so that's nice -No employee stock purchase program

Great Tech Company, but Weak Culture and Benefits

Pros

You get to work with cutting edge analytics to solve interesting problems. There are opportunities for advancement if you work hard and show initiative. Executive leaders are more then talking heads, they actually put some thought into how to grow the business. Generous number of paid holidays.

Cons

Benefits, particular healthcare, are poor. Coverage and company match are well below other companies of similar size. Other compensation, like bonuses and commissions, are low or nonexistent. Culture is poor. Management talks about the need to improve culture, but doesn't take real action to make culture better. Various internal departments are territorial with lots of in-fighting, making it hard to get things done. No ESPP or stock options. Executives talk about how well the stock is performing, but employees don't care because they don't own stock in the company.

Pros

You get to learn a lot of new things, like new programming luggage, project management skill, even another foreign language. Work and life balance is good. It's good for family driven people, since working hours can be really flexible here. BTW, I am still new, so this is just based my first year experience. I will update,if I find anything new.

Cons

Some work is tedious and repetitive. If you like doing the same thing over and over years, this is the right place. And also FICO tends to prefer people of using their own products to process data ,which is not efficient compared to the popular tools on market. Benefit is average level. You do not get anything special.
