Advice to Senior Management

Certain groups need more work life balance. Just because certain senior management is accustomed to working non-stop, he/she should not expect their employees to be the same. It causes burnout.

Pros

To work with really talented people with lots of experience. Colleagues are great at sharing their knowledge and working together; real team approach. You can make a difference and be rewarded. You feel your contributions count and you can approach your manager and management team for assistance at any time. You are driven hard to exceed expectations with the knowledge you have support from your manager in my view.

Cons

Its fast paced so you need to be on top of your game all the time, this is a positive as it challenges you. As a progressive organisation, 'Change' happens quite a lot, so you need to able to deal with 'Change'!

Pros

FICO presents a unique opportunity for employees and shareholders. With a diverse portfolio of product and service offerings, FICO has thousands of direct and indirect customers which yield a healthy install base of recurring revenue. Thru keen expense management, the net result is a predictable cash flow and stable financial enviornment. Knowing that you come into work without having to worry about a paycheck or raise financing is refreshing and allows focus on your core function.

Further, my experience has led me to believe that you, as a FICO employee, can develop and grow based on your performance. The work ethic/product does get recognized and current management creates paths for promotion/career edification internally.

Cons

Expense control is a must. The negative to this equation is that your headcount runs lean. Management asks a lot in terms of deliverables and output - but rightfully so.
As well, the Company doesn't grow at a Google's pace (who does?). 3% growth in FY11 doesn't make for the birth of new divisions/product lines.

Pros

FICO respect employee and you will be recognized so long as you have good performance here. Every top management will see how you play in your role and you will get strong support when you face some challenges and help you overcome it with effecient feedback.

Cons

FICO is a goodplace to work with enough freedom, but sometimes rules and policies acorss the orgnizatioins is necessary to remind manager do make right decisions in order to ensure good results and fairness among orgnizations.
