Pros

At FICO it's common to work with big businesses. It's fun to know that your company is providing some of the behind-the-scenes capabilities to enable these household names. While FICO is largely known for scores, their technology products are pretty diverse and there are a lot of interesting projects to get involved in. While a lot of my work can be somewhat repetitive there are new and interesting problems to solve all the time. My immediate management is great, very involved and aware of issues--but also providing plenty of autonomy to do my job. My colleagues are also very capable and I very much enjoy working with them.

Kontras

Salaries for technical positions are a bit underwhelming. Paired with the high deductibles and limited coverage from the benefit package this can really hurt a family. The final significant issue is there can be a lot of red tape to getting anything done and this can be stressful when customers are demanding answers and the 5 different departments involved aren't moving quickly.

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.

Kontras

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.
