Pros

Collaborative enviornment, clear communication from CEO and upper management about strategy, goals, and expectations. Great systems to keep managers in check, good managers are still there and you know where you stand with them. HR head is absolutely the best. Executive Team is really a team and it shows throughout the company at all levels.

Cons

Lower ranking jobs are barely within the state average. Salaries a little skewed but FICO does pay for performance. New location is in a so-so area.
