Vantaggi
NO good things to say about working at ICF. Benefits are TERRIBLE. If you need good health insurance, avoid this place at all costs. 3 weeks of vacation, sounds decent, but before taking it you'll have to complete all your deadlines and when you're back you'll have an avalanche of work ready to roll over you. One good thing about this place- you end up not having a work-life balance (you get overworked putting in 50 hours+ a week), but in the process you learn a significant amount. Bitter sweet.
Svantaggi
EVERYTHING about this place is horrible. I was told by management that a "picnic is a work obligation", even though it was during non-billable time. Certain team members are given preference over others (lots of favoritism in play). You are required to work 40 hours a week which sounds typical and reasonable, but you'll be given so many tasks that working 50+ hours on a weekly basis becomes a norm and sometimes it can be more. And NO, management won't appreciate/take into consideration the amount of time you put in. You mention it to them and they will ease your pain for a week IF THAT and then go back to business as usual (aka 50+ hours a week) a few days later. Guidance given by management is also very poor at this company, especially in the Social Media Department, and you will get the blame for any mistakes made by them even if you were given poor direction- and it happens consistently. AVOID this place at all costs because your life outside of work will be non-existent and your time at work will most likely feel like hell. Don't waste your time applying, you'll regret it.
