Pros

Excellent customer focus. Great benefits. Great team based on which team you work for. Great balance between work and personal life. Fair Isaac seems to have enough recurring revenue to support a lot of employee initiatives and growth opportunities for the company. However, these opportunities must be chosen carefully.

Cons

It is one of the few profitable companies in this market. Interesting to see management focus on cost cutting even further than to grow. This was my first big company job and I am not used to the bureaucracy of big companies so my comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Individual achivements are lost in the herd, management busy protecting their behinds, and complacency is preferred over an attitude for growth.

Advice to Senior Management

Bring in more outside talents for cost savings and growth. Listen to them, really listen to them.
