Pluspunten

Flexible work schedule, minimal micro-management, decent benefits, ability to work from home. There are A LOT of very intelligent folks here, who are very passionate about big data, analytics, fraud, etc. Many of them have PhDs and are not the most social folks you've ever met. This is a company that values direct answers and self management. This is also a company that I believe is going to be better and bigger, but a little awkward right now.

Minpunten

If you succeed, everyone succeeds with you, if you fail, you fail alone. Very little, if any direction from management, or leadership for that matter. There is a lack of communication from leaders, no road maps, and terrible performance review process. Pays well, but little to no raises once you're in. Also, it's a constant battle to acquire resources.

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.
