Pros

Great people and technology combine to solve valuable problems for large financial institutions.

Cons

Senior management is struggling with how to position for the future. There have been cycles of hiring and firing that are bad for morale. Innovation isn't getting to the marketplace as efficiently as it should, they rested on past success too long.

Pros

Some interesting people, mostly peers Reputation (somehow) is still good in industry Good IT operations

Cons

Extremely weak senior management Unethical and morally repugnant executives, especially in Scoring division Unrealistic expectations are the norm, company-wide Employee "motivation" is achieved via threats ("If you can't do it, we'll find somebody who can...") No upward career progression possible if you are a Senior Manager or Director Recently laid-off 200 long-term, senior contributors... FICO does not value previous accomplishments or exemplary performance Widespread executive arrogance - only they have the answers Poor compensation practices - tiny or no salary increases year-after-year, even where performance ratings are High/Very High and bonus pool is fictitious Board of Directors asleep at the wheel, so nothing is going to change soon
