ICF reviews

Relative to other consultant firms, ICF does not have generous pay or benefits. Despite touting being an ethical and equitable firm, they value profits over anything else, as expected from a corporation, but pretend otherwise. Employees and leadership believe they are above other companies because they say how diverse and caring they are, but in reality the company does not support people of color or queer people when it comes down to it. They will throw minorities under the bus if advocating for them causes any inconvenience.

It becomes a cutthroat money-making competition as you rise to the top. No bonuses are given. Pay is low compared to rest of the industry. They use recent grads for cheap labor and then don’t reward them well enough or provide enough opportunity to grow within the company.
