Pros

- Mid level sized workforce so you know people - Some smart people to work with but many junk as well - Good place to learn technologies

Cons

- No long vision, They have record of product failures which they started at FICO - Most of their product they sell is acquired and not their own. Looks their policy is to buy competitors and sell their product. So you find most of the time supporting the products but this is key to their success. - Believes in frequent layoffs. You never feel safe. Its right strategy from company's perspective. For supporting and bug fixes why do they need high performance developers. - Everything lies in the hand of your manager. If you only work and don't butter your manager you are gone. - Don't expect Bonuses

Pros

Lots of very smart people. Interesting projects. Great brand. Mature company with good client services.

Cons

Lacking in strategy and long term vision. As an established company, they haven't updated their development processes in a long time. Executive leadership hasn't always made good decisions.

Pros

I like working for FICO for the challenging clients with whom I've gotten to work. Always cutting edge technology has been utilized based upon the client solution and expectations. Because of this my skill set has always improved and I've been exposed to diverse software. The office culture has improved the last few years with a CEO focused on keeping talent rather than with layoffs. Flexible working hours are a benefit too for work/life balance.

Cons

Stingy with money for the working class employees. It's hard to keep up with the cost of living when during an annual review there is no raise given. Company policy states they don't believe in giving a cost of living increase. Ironically there always seems to be plenty of money for the executive leader's salaries, bonuses and stock options.
