Business outlook
Pros
Excellent, bright co-workers, very good technology that is quickly moving in the direction of all the current buzzwords, with elements of social and cloud computing. Many employees that leave end up coming back, largely because they find that FICO has less politics than other companies.
Cons
The tight cost controls that have served us well through tough times tends to extend into nickel and diming on expenses, bonus pools, and commissions. Good sales people have left over unfair reckoning of their commissions, which weakens the sales team greatly since it is a large set of complex technologies that we sell, not the easiest job for a new person to figure out.
