Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture and generally positive work environment; remote work options; friendly coworkers; chances to take on a new responsibilities and grow professionally. I agree with other reviews that ICF is a good place to start a career, stay for a couple years, then move on. Make sure to negotiate for a high salary coming in because your raises year to year will be very small.

Cons

Low salary compared to competitors; poor training/onboarding (sink or swim approach to new hires); raises seem to be based more on years with company rather than performance; raises are small year to year; not the strongest company to work for in terms of professional development.
