Pros

Work/life balance is incredible. Some staff came in late and left early nearly every day, and as long as the work is getting done ICF is fine with it. Most everyone is quite nice and easy to get along with who works at ICF.

Cons

The salary is a joke, and the raises are cost of living at best. I once got a 1.3% raise after being promoted....so good luck earning a salary to live off in the pricey DC area.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
