Pros

Flexible to working anywhere in the world and there are a lot of really smart people to work with and learn from

Cons

You work all of the time and its nearly impossible to take a vacation where you don't have your laptop with you putting in at least 10 hour work days on your vacation days.

Pros

They will reward you handsomely and promote you quickly if you are smart and competent. If you have the skills to navigate the flat hierarchy, you can set your own schedule and workload easily.

Cons

You can get stuck doing the same kind of work becuase you develop a certain "expertise." Those who make to a midlevel management position might also find pressure to keep bringing business in. After all, its a for profit company.

Pros

It depends on the practice, but ICF generally allows for very flexible work schedules and working from home. It's also nice having a large junior staff that consists of recent college graduates. The senior mgmt is generally very smart and capable.

Cons

The senior mgmt, while smart and capable are not always the best managers. They also have trouble delegating interesting work that RAs and junior staff would be capable of doing. The work can be very boring and require very little thought. However, this is again dependent on the group you are working in. There are also signification communication issues--it is hard to know what is going on in the group aside from the work you are directly involved in.
