Pros

Decent work life balance if you are not bidding. Work with colleagues that are passionate about climate.

Cons

ICF operates with a rigid hierarchical structure, offering very limited growth opportunities. While the head of my area was highly intelligent, his lack of communication skills and poor people management made leadership ineffective. Diversity exists at junior levels, but it diminishes significantly higher up. Compensation and benefits are notably below industry standards, making it a less competitive option compared to similar firms.

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.
