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.
