Pros

Job security, job security, job security! Even at the depths of the market crash, nobody was laid off. ICMA-RC has plenty of money and they are very generous with employee benefits. 401k contributions up to 10% of salary. Very generous Spring and Winter bonuses that are cumulative (based on past bonuses, reviews and company performance goals). The work is pretty easy depending on where you fall in the ranks and the pace is relatively slow.

Cons

Same as some of the pros but from the opposite angle. The work is often tedious and not very challenging. It's very corporate and often alot of incompetence goes unnoticed because someone else slack is picked up by the rest of the company. As a web developer, you will be totally locked down and sometimes incapacitated by antiquated IT security. You will often not have access to download tools and software that could make your job easier. The approval process to purchase software is just absurd and by the time you get it, you probably no-longer need it. Also you will do alot of data entry and content updating.

Pros

The people and culture are generally supportive, and it’s easy to find teammates willing to help you succeed. The work feels mission-driven, which adds a sense of purpose and makes day-to-day projects feel meaningful. Overall, it’s a stable environment where you can build solid experience!

Cons

Some processes can take a bit longer due to multiple layers of review and approvals, which is understandable in a structured environment. This can occasionally slow momentum when timelines are tight, but with clear communication and planning it’s usually manageable. Over time, you learn how to navigate the cadence and keep projects moving forward.

Pros

My direct manager and team was mostly great I had a lot of autonomy about how I did my job The clients are mostly good

Cons

Some bad behavior goes unpunished by management, not always a great audit chain on things Everything here takes a ton of time and is a production, a new service that was supposed to launch in March is now indefinitely delayed for no good reason. Feels like there is a lot of finger pointing on why things aren't moving forward CEO is very concerned about being a "cool guy"
