Pros
* Managers are intelligent & show a great deal of appreciation for top-performing staff. * Executives are very approachable & offer great insight & wisdom on individual career trajectories. * HR developing a strong universal on-boarding and training process, along with educational opportunities. * Smart and friendly colleagues. * Some nice perks (coffee machines, cafe, wellness benefits, cell phone plan) * Relatively flexible working hours, though executives do heavily promote working in-office for collaboration purposes. * FICO's got a lot of very exciting products that are incredibly relevant in the world of big data/cloud analytics. It feels like a fantastic time to be on board with this company. * Open-door, honest policy that lets you know exactly where your performance is hitting its stride and missing its mark.
Cons
* Some inefficiencies with the constant technical upgrades/changes. The IT service group is in Bangalore, and sometimes important details are completely lost in translation. * Not everyone is on the same computer platform, so there are hiccoughs. * Sometimes it feels that there is a chasm between the Executives and regular staff, but if you are a hard worker, try speaking up -- likely they'll be responsive. * It's a big company, and it can be easy to feel lost; it doesn't have the ridiculous perks of some of the tech companies in Silicon Valley, but there is a stronger belief in life/work balance that is clear. * There have been some personnel changes due to the shifting trajectory of the company; this isn't a company for people who want to rest on their laurels and just collect a paycheck. You need to keep yourself educated, thinking & adaptable to succeed.
