      Good Work-Life Balance but Poor Culture and Lack of Advancement Opportunities

      It business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work -life balance, flexible schedule, remote capability The projects/contracts that ICF wins are seemingly great but they are so mismanaged that even the best projects are very frustrating to work on

      Cons

      Poor management style and very little advancement opportunity because promotions are based solely on tenure and not merit There are no career managers at ICF and its very difficult to switch projects, even though its a consulting firm Projects are extremely disorganized and divisions are too siloed - people often duplicate efforts because they're unaware of what others are working on People are not passionate about their careers and are quick to blame others when they make mistakes

      Average Company / Very Poor Leadership and Management

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some very hard-working employees that want to do well and looking for proper mentoring and guidance to get to the next level. PTO and benefits are decent. The work is rewording.

      Cons

      Very poor division leadership; politics are rewarded over those that perform. There are many managers who make decent salaries who literally contribute nothing to the company (they literally sit in their office or often don't come in and do nothing) due to politics and division leadership protecting Yes Men Senior Managers who cover for those individuals. The company does not invest wisely in technology to stay current in the marketplace. They have rebranded others' technologies and paid to put their name on it to market it to clients as their own. The company tends to be very short-term focused; only focused on the here and now as opposed to thinking strategically about the long term. This does not inspire confidence in employees who are looking for longer term careers with the company.
