Pros

So burnt out, therefore no pros. So burnt out, therefore no pros. So burnt out, therefore no pros. So burnt out, therefore no pros.

Cons

Leadership is disconnected from the day to day realities. Leadership does not listen. Also, many people at this company have been life long employees stuck in old ways, with slow processes, and not open to new ideas or change. The company culture has disconnected departments not conductive to supportive collaborative team environment. Department leadership will pat themselves & their direct reports on the back, but not to someone outside their direct department. The number of soulless people here amazes me.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
