Pros

Depending on the team... FICO can be a fast-paced, challenging, rewarding place to work at. Work-life balance, kind of. In a nutshell: - a lot of opportunities for growth - exciting technology - yearly bonuses - tuition reimbursement (despite the claim in another review from VA, but it may differ for locations)

Cons

Sometimes work-life balance is non-existent, but you can't have it all; I'll take fast-paced + challenging. Salary is not competitive compared to other companies in the Silicon Valley as others have noted, but doing some research will show that base salary is above median.

Pros

The perks offered are pretty good. They do not offer H1. Perfect place to work if you want to have good work life balance.

Cons

Uncompetitive salaries. The pace of the work is too slow for a fresher coming out of college.
