Not a place for growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on the team or LOB, junior staff are given higher-level responsibilities early on. I had greater responsibilities than most of my peers at other consulting firms.

Cons

1) Long hours, and often working for free. 2) Little ability to work on projects with other groups. 3) Slow promotion schedule. 4) Lack of mentoring. Managers are overwhelmed and unable to take on any additional time to mentor junior staff/aspiring project managers. The junior staff liaisons to senior management are a joke - nothing gets accomplished. 5) It's probably stress, but everyone was uptight. Not an interesting work environment.

Pros

Flexible work schedules, matrixed project structure (ability to work on a variety of different projects and issues), casual work environment

Cons

Many staff are off-site so it makes it hard to get things done, promotion schedule is extremely disadvantageous to those who start at ICF straight out of college, disconnect between junior and senior staff

Pros

excellent colleagues, nice office environment, great clients, emphasis on work life balance, solid match on 401k, stock discounts

Cons

too many layers of management and emphasis on hierarchy make completing initiatives difficult, silo approach to management of business functions makes cross collaboration difficult and this can be visible to clients to ICFs detriment.
