Pluspunten

Most of the "worker bees" are smart, committed, and great to work with. They genuinely care about the quality of the products they produce.

Minpunten

Seems like the company's focus is purely on increasing stock price through shuffling resources and making announcements to excite Wall Street. Execs seem to have lost faith in increasing stock prices by producing, selling, and supporting quality products. They do not properly fund projects and they lay off key resources, then when projects come up short as a result, they blame the worker bees and do another round of layoffs. The remaining workforce then tries to pull things together with fewer resources and less expertise. FICO execs have talented people working for them but they act like all workers are simple commodities that can be easily replaced - they have no regard for employees' expertise or dedication to the company.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
