Pros

FICO has far more going for it than credit scores. It is a leader in predictive analytics, and participates in a wide range of related markets. This means a lot of really interesting products and projects. FICO draws really smart and engaged people. It is a hard-working place, but very "grown-up" with strong respect for life outside of work.

Cons

FICO's offices are very dispersed geographically, with three in California alone. Project teams are frequently spread across the globe, which means lots of conference calls, and some demand for travel, although that might be seen as a plus. The wide range of activity across markets and products means that getting extended attention from senior executives can be challenging, although the flip-side of that can be lots of autonomy.

Pros

The Transaction Analytics team in San Diego is a mature group with a lot of smart people. There was opportunity to work on several interesting projects. The work - life balance was good. Management generally gave people opportunities to work on different things to help you grow as a scientist. The group is continuing to evolve internal processes to adopt more Big Data technologies, although the current development stack is not there.

Cons

Compensation is only average. Limited growth opportunities unless you make a significant contribution (e.g. patent / brand new process).

Pros

Fair Isaac is a great company. They take care of their employees through benefits, education and professionally managed Teams.

Cons

A bit more focus on Tools & Resources. Lear as you go, some people don't like it, but I consider it a great way to expand ones growth!
