Pros

Colleagues are genuine experts in their respective fields and offer a lot in terms 'on the job' learning opportunities - this is especially true for those coming in at a junior level.

Cons

There is a deliberately opaque and confused process surrounding pay and promotions. The company generally requires, at the very least, a masters for an entry level career-job (i.e. excluding interns) which is not reflected in pay for junior staff. There is also a trend at ICF of long hours.
