Pros

Smart driven people, metro-accessible office locations, good mid-level leadership, interesting project work. I am particularly impressed by the work ICF does in the climate change, energy, and health services spaces.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch, and the performance review process is a black box that results in the majority of employees feeling dissatisfied with the results. The business model supports keeping employees around for maybe 3 years maximum before the salaries become sufficiently discouraging.

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.
