Vantaggi

Remote work is a plus however leadership uses that as a tool to have you work long days

Svantaggi

Many people I came across in leadership positions lacked fundamental leadership skills and they had big egos. The builds cutting edge software and really great products but they do it on the backs of their people who they treat as subhumans. At least that was my experience.. Leaders just push their employees to work long hours and offer no incentive other than you get to keep your job. While I did encounter some very nice people there who actually do real work (developers, DevOps, some project managers and QA, a few ML people) leaders in general are highly unqualified to manage people. I truthfully couldn’t believe that some individuals thought it was ok to talk to me like they did! The sad thing is that people who have never worked anywhere else believe the toxic environment and pressure is normal. I felt sorry for a number of people on the teams. Long hours and extreme pressure for no thanks. VP offered zero support and like others, just expected you to work yourself to death so the project deadlines would be met. In any case, I got out of their m and I’d discourage anyone from accepting an offer with them given my experience.

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.
