Fair Isaac – “Fair Isaac - great potential, sadly under-realized”

Pros

There are some really amazing people at Fair Isaac, and the company has a strong value proposition to offer the world.

Cons

Someone once joked that Fair Isaac feels like the "Fisher Price My First Corporation" - and I couldn't agree more. In their struggle to be the 'everything to everybody" company, the leadership team seems to go from one initiative to the next while seemingly hoping that the latest furniture rearrangement will somehow solve the bigger problems. If only the leadership would make the hard and tough decisions around restructuring the business and focusing on only the core opportunities, it could be a really great place to work!

Advice to Senior Management

Focus. Focus. Focus. Either replace the COO or consider seriously limiting his sphere of influence - he's more in the way of change than a champion for it.
