Pros

With how unbelievably disorganized and unethical this company is, at least I receive a paycheck every two weeks.

Cons

I would say this entire company is one big Con. Let me give you some backstory, I joined ICF two years ago, and from that moment on, what ensured was a corporate nightmare of epic proportions. Pretty much every manager I was assigned to was beyond incompetent at their job, and they don’t really take responsibility for anything, the employees are carrying the bulk of the workload. Also, it’s common for you to get assigned to projects that are overly complex and beyond your skill set, but that doesn’t matter because the client is always right, even if it’s at the expense of your well being. Also to add to the unethical nature of this company, I was “unofficially” promoted to a higher role. I wasn’t even informed of this, everyone just started referring to me as this role. After doing market research, I found out I’m supposed to be getting paid $50-$60,000 dollars more than what I am currently making….that was the straw that broke the camels back. Corporate America is already a tough gig, but the amount of exploitation that is taking place here is unbelievable

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.

Pros

They are so flexible and genuinely invested in your growth and the people are so kind!

Cons

Because the company has had so many acquisitions, it feels like the company is divided into a bunch of specific groups and it’s hard to connect with people outside of your own group.
