Pros

Most of the "worker bees" are smart, committed, and great to work with. They genuinely care about the quality of the products they produce.

Cons

Seems like the company's focus is purely on increasing stock price through shuffling resources and making announcements to excite Wall Street. Execs seem to have lost faith in increasing stock prices by producing, selling, and supporting quality products. They do not properly fund projects and they lay off key resources, then when projects come up short as a result, they blame the worker bees and do another round of layoffs. The remaining workforce then tries to pull things together with fewer resources and less expertise. FICO execs have talented people working for them but they act like all workers are simple commodities that can be easily replaced - they have no regard for employees' expertise or dedication to the company.
