ICF Software Engineer reviews

Overworked- While working for ICF I worked as many as 5 projects at single a time. Training- If you want to attend a conference for work and for example it takes 1 week you either have to use your PTO or work overtime to make up for that missed time Turnover- I was there for 1 year and knew about 15 people. By the time I left 3 remained. All were either fired, laid off or left the firm Project Management- PM's have very little to no experience and are often overworked trying to manage up to 6 or more projects at once. Technology- Tech stacks used internally are out of date and rarely utilize best practice Management- Managers are often disorganized and don't communicate with one another or staff members. Expectations are never clear or precise. Benefits - Health insurance options were limited and extremely overpriced

-Not a good work/life balance I found myself working 50-60 hr weeks while getting paid for 40. -I was never trusted with the system I was writing code for. Made working on it hard and led to a lack of motivation. -My ideas/suggestions were never considered and I felt like an outcast from day one which never changed. -If you are a contractor you MUST be vigilant about other opportunities because you will be let go despite management saying you are doing great and that they have plenty of work for you. -They let the customer change the requirements several times over which led to lots of lost time. The worst example was when an entire month's worth of work had to be trashed and redone because of the customer changing their mind.
