Pros

- Most employees are intelligent and are good resources to enrich knowledge. - Interesting products. - Many office locations

Kontras

The company has a real hard time understanding why they bleed talent. It's really not that difficult to understand. FICO does not give raises (even with stellar performance reviews) and rarely gives cost of living increases. The only time a raise will be given is if there is a promotion. FICO employs Glint surveys that highlight deficits in the company culture. This realization doesn't appear to impact any change. FICO is always in cost cutting mode. Employees feel they're always first on the chopping block. You can read in other reviews regarding layoffs, no pay increases, or bonus pools that aren't funded. Living in fear of job loss isn't a good feeling. This company simply doesn't get human motivation, which of course feeds back into morale and ultimately worker effort.

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.
