Vantaggi

Recognized brand in financial services with a huge list of clients around the globe. Knowledgeable and friendly employees (but a diminishing group) Good place for young people starting their careers to gain experience

Svantaggi

Incompetent senior management that is unable to motivate the troops, set a strategy or to communicate it. Senior management has no appreciation for the people (tenure, experience, knowledge, performance reviews) and carries out frequent lay offs to meet the bottom line. Frequent organization changes that do nothing to improve execution or communication, and decrease productivity during re-org adjustment periods Short term focused company looking only at the next quarter, with no vision or strategy for the long term. Don't believe telecommuting as a perk, there is increasing focus on going into the office Healthcare benefits are worse every year.

Vantaggi

FICO is a great place to work as a software engineer. I had a very positive experience collaborating with smart, thoughtful teammates on technically interesting problems that have real-world impact at scale. The engineering culture values code quality, thoughtful design, and pragmatic decision-making over hype. Leadership was supportive, expectations were clear, and there was a strong emphasis on ownership and accountability. Overall, it’s an excellent environment for engineers who enjoy working on meaningful systems in a stable, well-run organization.

Svantaggi

Slower pace of change compared to startups or high-growth tech companies, which can feel restrictive if you prefer rapid experimentation. Legacy systems and tech debt in parts of the organization that require patience and careful refactoring. Process-heavy at times, with multiple reviews or approvals slowing delivery. Less emphasis on cutting-edge frameworks—the focus is more on stability and correctness than chasing the newest tools.
