Pros

It has been years since I've worked at ICF but the environment was low-key yet professional. Upper management was generally very reasonable with workload (ie, didn't expect you to consistently work 10+ hour days or work for unpaid overtime), there was a wide variety of responsibilities given, and the pay and benefits were decent.

Cons

Occasional unpredictability with workload from week to week (ie, very light some weeks, very heavy next) but that's more an issue with Federal contracting in general rather than ICF specifically.

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.
