Vantaggi

* Good pay * Good benifits * My direct supervisor was pretty cool. Definitely good to work for, and respectful. Also very appreciative of hard work, etc. * Some really great people, mostly in the trenches doing the work.

Svantaggi

* Executive leadership inspires a toxic work environment * Inconsistent priorities. You'll be in the middle of a project, and you'll be told to drop it. Without having a chance to wrap it up, you need to jump to something else. It's very hard to finish anything * excessive micromanagement from 'tiger teams' * poor support from management when things start to go south. * Total failure of upper management to properly prioritize and scope IT needs and projects in general. This leads to horrifically inconsistent workloads combined with management that just doesn't understand why it's taking long, so they get mad at you. I've never quit a job in my life, but this place is so bad, i threw my badge on my VP's desk and left, knowing that anywhere I land will be better than here.

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.
