Thank you for your review and great to hear you enjoyed the public policy work you did at ICF. We have such talented consultants at ICF and pay competitively relative to the cost of labor in our targeted markets. We annually benchmark salaries and compensation to ensure they are fair and competitive, and we also look at various ways to support our employees, including investing in additional employee benefits. --- LL

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad to hear you enjoyed teamwork and flexibility. Negotiating the compensation package you desire is not easy. ICF annually audits its salaries and compensation against other industries to ensure they are fair and competitive. We invest in total compensation—including wellbeing, employee experience, and learning. If you're still not satisfied and would like to seek additional compensation, prepare for an impact conversation with your manager to discuss what's needed to get you there. - KZ

Thank you for leaving us your review! ICFer's financial wellbeing is as important to us as health and mental wellbeing. You should feel enabled to come forward to your manager to discuss your work life balance needs—no matter the circumstance you are in. If you feel you are working too many hours, document an audit of your time and let those facts drive the conversation. Your manager should help you balance and prioritize certain projects over others. If you feel this does not resolve your issue, please reach out to your HR business partner to further discuss this. One of our core values is acting with integrity - this means speaking up when it's hard and expecting integrity from those around you. Make your concerns known by discussing them with your manager or HR business partner. If you are interested in a promotion, start by creating a Career Pathfinder Development Plan, learn about the next-level responsibilities, gain your manager's support, incorporate on-the-job development opportunities in your daily activities, expand your network by participating in our mentorship program, and take advantage of numerous learning offerings. - KZ
