Pros

ICF has a really good professional development program, and it's commitment to work-life balance is significant. Compensation is average to good. Benefits are good, and the work environment is collegial and cooperative. A lot of dedicated passionate people work here, and if you can hitch yourself on their coattails, you'll do fine.

Cons

Middle and upper management oftentimes come across as disorganized or uncoordinated. One hand rarely knows what the other is doing. Good people at the associate level often get overlooked until they head elsewhere.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
