Pros

The topics are interesting and change often in consulting. Colleagues care about the work and are highly capable. All the teams I know of are flexible with hours and location which is good for parents.

Cons

It’s consulting so everyone is on too many projects. They keep salaries low to keep bids competitive. However they spent who knows how much on a brand new headquarters! They should focus in compensating and keeping employees they value. They spend a lot of time with praises and kudos but it seems as alternative to better pay.

We appreciate the time you've taken to provide this feedback. It sounds like you've found many pros while working here at ICF. We do annual audits of salaries and compensation against other industries to ensure they are fair and competitive. With that said, if you’re not satisfied and would like to seek additional compensation, now is a great time to prepare for an impact conversation with your manager to discuss what's needed to help you get there. -HS

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.
