Pros

I was able to have a flexible work schedule, I was approved to decrease my hours (which decreased my pay), and the people I worked with were very kind. I was paid okay.

Cons

ICF does not have work boundaries. People were constantly working late and working on weekends. The way that the budgets were set up did not allow for enough time to be spent on a project. As a result, the projects would often go over budget. Because of this, I would hear from staff that they would work during their personal time, without logging their time. Therefore, they were not even getting credit for overworking. Additionally, the company health insurance options had incredibly high deductibles that often made it feel like I didn't have insurance at all.
