Pros

- Great teammates, managers, and scrum masters

Cons

- Thrown into the weeds without much training - given multiple projects on day one without any help, no senior devs to guide me - being billable is king because the government is stingy with their cash and lord knows ICF is all about looking good on the New York Times Square billboard so cash rules everything around them as well - incredibly low pay compared to other software jobs with the same skill set; friend was making $30k more than I did with the same experience - scant amount of junior front end devs...if you work on the backend, you are in a prime position to be respected. If not, you're in marketing and a frontend dev and no one gives a care about you - 50 meetings a week. How do you expect us to keep up with the demands you've placed upon us when we have 6-8 scrums/check-ins a week?

Pros

Good culture and generally positive work environment; remote work options; friendly coworkers; chances to take on a new responsibilities and grow professionally. I agree with other reviews that ICF is a good place to start a career, stay for a couple years, then move on. Make sure to negotiate for a high salary coming in because your raises year to year will be very small.

Cons

Low salary compared to competitors; poor training/onboarding (sink or swim approach to new hires); raises seem to be based more on years with company rather than performance; raises are small year to year; not the strongest company to work for in terms of professional development.
