Business outlook
Pros
- One word: people. I have made many friends through ICF and I would hate to leave most of the co-workers at my level. People are mostly down to earth, friendly, and not excessively competitive. - It's a great entry-level opportunity to get a taste of the "real world" before grad school - Flexibility and work-from-home opportunity is excellent
Cons
- Lack of professional development/career growth - the company uses young entry-level labor, pays them poorly, and expects 100% to leave. When they stay because of excellent performance, no one knows how or bothers to develop them - Comically low pay for DC consulting in certain practices compared to similar positions at Booz, Deloitte, etc.
