Pros

The topics are interesting and change often in consulting. Colleagues care about the work and are highly capable. All the teams I know of are flexible with hours and location which is good for parents.

Cons

It’s consulting so everyone is on too many projects. They keep salaries low to keep bids competitive. However they spent who knows how much on a brand new headquarters! They should focus in compensating and keeping employees they value. They spend a lot of time with praises and kudos but it seems as alternative to better pay.

We appreciate the time you've taken to provide this feedback. It sounds like you've found many pros while working here at ICF. We do annual audits of salaries and compensation against other industries to ensure they are fair and competitive. With that said, if you’re not satisfied and would like to seek additional compensation, now is a great time to prepare for an impact conversation with your manager to discuss what's needed to help you get there. -HS

Cons

experience depends drastically on the line of business you are in, felt like walking on an eggshell many times, poor work life balance depending on the team you work with.

Atmosphere at ICF Next is just too Toxic

Pros

Some excellent coworkers and remote work allowed.

Cons

Absolutely poor atmosphere. Leadership berates and demeans artists, who are seen as simply replaceable and refuse to support them. No room to learn, train or grow. Intense gate-keeping, and high expectations of working +40 hours without comp or basic appreciation.
