1) It's an ol' boys club. If you aren't a previous coworker/friend from Sapient Razorfish or from one of ICF's acquired businesses, you'll more likely than not be treated as an outsider.
2) Most companies have some type of no tolerance policy when it comes to workplace violence. ICF Olson / ICF Next does not, or at least they don't enforce it or provide training to employees. It's pretty sad honestly.
3) The few Women in tech roles (most left within the last 2 months) are not given opportunities to advance. They are typically given the worst projects while their male peers with less work experience, education, and success are given key client projects. There are clearly different standards for men and women within the organization.
4) It's one of those places that when employees warn executives of risks, issues, and client unhappiness, management tells you to mind your business or ignores you entirely. Then when the project goes south they wonder how it happens. In fact, they'll continue to push the narrative that you were still wrong.
5) No support or clean strategy to recruit, retain, or mentor female, hispanic, or black employees.
Please if you're hispanic, latino, black, an ally, or consider yourself a social justice warrior and inclusive, don't interview or accept an offer here. This is not an environment in which you will thrive without losing your authenticity in the process.
6) Clients never come first. And employees definitely come last.
I can keep going but I prefer to focus on areas that have not been discussed in other posts. I think it's important to use my voice to warn those who seek a healthy environment to be themselves. No company is perfect. But why subject yourself to craziness if you don't have to?
If HR replies asking me to contact them, please understand that they know all of the above and multiple people in the local organization chose not to do anything.
Stay Away.
