Think very hard before you work here, know what you are getting into.

Business Outlook

Pros

I honestly can't think of any. Use this place as a stepping stone if you have to.

Cons

The old-timers know every so often there will be layoffs, so why show the ropes to the newcomers? It's mainly the new hires that go, but they do get some of the veterans, so it's co-worker vs co-worker. On a weekend, one of our offshores approached me and asked why the atmosphere was so unfriendly. I assured him it wasn't anything about him, FICO is just ... creepy.

Pros

Good for people who can smoke, drink with managers. If you are good Microsoft Outlook coder this is the right place. Free food and snacks.

Cons

Not good for those who don’t want to do buttering. Eclipse coder and technical people can’t survive in the company. Still not able to understand how non-technical people have become Lead Engineers. Appraisals are not transparent
