Pros

I worked hard, but I also had a good work/life balance. Not much work on the weekends or at nights. I also loved many colleagues.

Cons

The pay was terrible; i should never have stayed so long there. Also, I had a problem with a colleague, and it was very hard to get HR to do anything about it. He wasn't let go until after I was long gone.

Thank you for your review. Happy to hear you had a good work/life balance. ICF benchmarks on an annual basis to keep its salaries and compensation fair and competitive. As we are in a business where we negotiate contracts with our clients and select projects that align with our values, salaries can depend on the budget of the client and assignments. --- SS

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.
