Vantaggi

Interesting industry. Select teams are very strong. Select management (at Dir/Sr Dir/VP) is very engaging and strong. Flexible work hours and ability to work from home

Svantaggi

Alarming drop in morale over past two or three years. Invisible and siloed executive team. The exception is the new EVP of sales, who makes an admirable effort to communicate and be networked into the field. Majority of services, product management and marketing seem disgruntled, along with many sales teams in the U.S., U.K. and Europe. Financial strength seems mostly a result of scores business profitability, stock buyback and frequent expense and headcount reductions, rather than true investment and a sustainable growth strategy. Operates like a much larger, staid, process-heavy company, rather than the nimble Silicon Valley company leadership claims it to be. Leadership team is exclusively white males, few of whom have innovative/start up/inspirational energy a company in this sector needs. Harsh focus on quarterly metrics, frequently to the detracting of long term growth. Many senior leaders are elevated from individual contributor or sales roles, with little executive coaching and full-circle evaluation. low compensation, compared to competitors and Silicon Valley companies. Much conversation around, but little visible action to counteract, attrition

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.
