Pros

Worked on a variety of projects and, thus, gained experience.

Cons

All that matters is money. Everyone is constantly worried about being 100% billable which means working extra hours to get to know your colleagues or even go to lunch or a staff meeting, which is charged to "indirect" time. I personally worked at multiple client sites and at ICF headquarters making it very challenging to develop relationships at any one place. Everyone was always worried about being laid off! Speaking of, when colleagues were laid off, it was kept a secret and those not in mgmt would only find out because they'd eventually notice someone was missing!!! They seriously need a manual in best practices in leadership! The worst thing that ever happened was when I woke up with a migraine and requested the day off-my project manager requested that I come in when my pain med kicked in; I had to remind her that you're not supposed to drive. The request was absurd!

Pros

Talented pool of workers scattered across the country Wide variety of career sectors in which to find your specialty. Benefits and community contributions are significant.

Cons

The work-life balance is not quite balanced, but it improves as one moves up the ladder. Part-time employees were segregated from many benefits, and required to use their own funds then be reimbursed for travel expenses.
