ICF Senior Associate reviews

Be prepared to work hard

Extremely competitive and backstabbing environment. Expected to do some work under non-billable hours without the ability to charge to overhead or make up the time. My work was constantly presented as that of my supervisor (and applauded) while everyone new and no one cared (or were too scared to acknowledge it publicly). My supervisor repeatedly made ethnically disparaging remarks and harassed me. Although I complained to HR and had witnesses it wasn’t further investigated and dismissed as a communication issue. Once I complained, my manager’s excellent reviews of my performance turned into performance warnings without evidence/examples. After spending over a year documenting and presenting additional evidence of the harassment, verbal abuse, and unsubstantiated negative feedback I endured, my request to be moved to a different manager was given (and the mysteriously manager left). They care only about their bottom and don’t blink or acknowledge unethical treatment or actions by upper management. Worst management and work experience ever! If you are lucky, you may land under one of the very few departments and managers that are ok.
