Pros

The company works in interesting in good projects and has a good education prgram. The company has a collaborative environment. Most of the supervisors and colleagues are helpful.

Cons

The promotion and pay raise after year end reviews is arbitrary and not clear. Most of the junior level staff is underpaid and do not get adequate bonus. The company does not have a good program to reward good performance.

Pros

This is a pretty good company to work with straight out of college - they have a good training program to get you up to speed on the corporate life.

Cons

At least in my department, there is little room for upward movement, and the work is repetitive and, well, somewhat boring once you're up to speed.

Pros

ICF is a good place to start out, and the broad area of expertise that ICF covers means that employees can seek out new experiences and types of work if they have managers that are flexible and will let them do so.

Cons

There is very little direction and support from management in my experience, although from talking with other people within the company I know it varies greatly depending on your team. Being billable at all times is draining, and professional development and education suffers as a result. The company sometimes seems to be too profit-driven, to the point of losing site of keeping employees happy. I think burn-out is pretty common in some parts of the company.
