Pros

relationship among junior staffers is great, gym is nice, good work-life balance (depending on your team), good benefits and 401(k) match, stable job.

Cons

huge disconnect between junior and senior management, mismanagement and underutilization of resources, little room for innovation and creativity, low pay, very "corporate", little concern for employee satisfaction. This company is not really concerned with retaining employees, at least that's how they come off. There is very little room for growth, both personal and professional. They are so client-driven that analytical methods have not changed over the last 15 years because of the constant push to maintain profitability. This lack of innovation, or push to truly innovate will really hurt ICF in the long run.

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.
