ICF reviews

recent changes in benefits have created a less than ideal work environment. there is limited opportunity for professional growth once you have hit a mid-level career position. the tendency is to consider your worth to the group in terms of what you can do moving forward not in what you have accomplished. it can be difficult to balance work/home, some weeks and/or months are intense.

ICF has acquired smaller companies and offices and brought them into the fold. As a result, there is definitely some struggle between the old culture and the new corporate culture. Most of the staff who have been there a long time seem to chomp at the bit, especially in offices that are more removed from corporate in Fairfax VA. Also being a big company, there is a lot of red tape in order to get approval on things. It seems like with the times too, the company is starting to rein in typical perks (pushing employees to use their own cell phones while subsidizing only $50 or so).
