Pros

There were waffles one time

Cons

Overworked- While working for ICF I worked as many as 5 projects at single a time. Training- If you want to attend a conference for work and for example it takes 1 week you either have to use your PTO or work overtime to make up for that missed time Turnover- I was there for 1 year and knew about 15 people. By the time I left 3 remained. All were either fired, laid off or left the firm Project Management- PM's have very little to no experience and are often overworked trying to manage up to 6 or more projects at once. Technology- Tech stacks used internally are out of date and rarely utilize best practice Management- Managers are often disorganized and don't communicate with one another or staff members. Expectations are never clear or precise. Benefits - Health insurance options were limited and extremely overpriced

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.
