Pros

In particular, when I first joined, FICO had a wonderful reputation with excellent software and analytics capability. Generally, the working environment is good and the flexbility with working hours and telecommuting was great.

Cons

Some of the senior management team, particularly in APAC just don't seem to have a clue about our business and it shows in terms of the lack of real direction or leadership. Dealings with HR were awful!!!!

Business Outlook

Pros

FICO is a mid-sized software company($700 million) and there are great opportunities to own projects/have an impact at junior and senior levels. You don't feel like a cog in the wheel. Company rewards performance more and more every year. It's been a great place to grow by getting hands on new technology in big data, etc., and collaborate with some of the smartest technical people I've ever worked with. Been fun to watch the company grow and work for a "big player" in analytics software. Highly recommend the company to smart, motivated techies.

Cons

Doesn't offer every big company benefit
