Good environment, interesting and meaningful work, benefits could be better - especially for women - Recensione dipendente - Senior Associate presso ICF

I was surprised to learn that ICF does not offer any paid maternity leave. Not accrued, not with tenure. In the interest of full transparency, ICF does cover employees' short-term disability insurance, which essentially provides 5 weeks of paid leave at 60% of your salary, and ICF will hold your job for you should you choose to take unpaid leave beyond those first weeks. However, I'm disappointed we don't offer a benefit that most other companies do. We do great work in healthcare, education, social services, and more, yet we don't offer a very basic benefit to our mothers. Meanwhile, many other companies have already started offering paternity leave in addition to maternity leave. Given the number of young women we employee, it's very disappointing.
