Pluspunten

You get to work with cutting edge analytics to solve interesting problems. There are opportunities for advancement if you work hard and show initiative. Executive leaders are more then talking heads, they actually put some thought into how to grow the business. Generous number of paid holidays.

Minpunten

Benefits, particular healthcare, are poor. Coverage and company match are well below other companies of similar size. Other compensation, like bonuses and commissions, are low or nonexistent. Culture is poor. Management talks about the need to improve culture, but doesn't take real action to make culture better. Various internal departments are territorial with lots of in-fighting, making it hard to get things done. No ESPP or stock options. Executives talk about how well the stock is performing, but employees don't care because they don't own stock in 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.
