      Laid Back Place to Work

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This company is great in the sense that you can have a personal life. I found that they were extremely flexible with anything and very laid back.

      Cons

      There wasn't a whole lot of guidance and training when you are new. I found myself bothering my cubical neighbors who seemed too busy to show me the ropes. Also, the rasies were very low.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, paycheck always came on time.

      Cons

      The mental stress of being dispenseable; lied to and lied on and insulted. I've never worked with such RUDE people ever in my life.

      "No one is indispensable" - Periodic Team Pep talk quote from management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many very talented people work here. Wonderful clients. Amazing projects. Some ability to grow your skill set if you're lucky enough to have good management. Ability to develop your own career path, only if you're lucky enough to get the right management. I hear other divisions of ICF are great to work for, but Energy Efficiency Division is a tyrant.

      Cons

      Arduous workload and time demands without adequate compensation. Little to no team support for less profitable projects. Promotion is not based on merit at all. You can work tireless hours and take on a multitude of projects (often pushed on you by management) to prove your worth but will be denied bonus or promotion if: 1) you're more profitable to the company in a lower level position, and 2) if you haven't served the required time allotment in your current position even if you already perform tasks associated with a higher position for a prolonged duration. Co-workers without adequate training, experience, or education can become your superior. Lots of favoritism.
