Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Coming into a company and negotiating the compensation package you desire is not easy. ICF annually audits its salaries and compensation against other industries to ensure they are fair and competitive. At the same time, we select projects that align with our purpose—to build a more prosperous and resilient world—and don't risk our values at the sake of profit. With ICF, you can make an impact, and join a company that's investing in total compensation—including wellbeing, employee experience, and learning. If you’re still not satisfied and would like to seek additional compensation, prepare for an impact conversation with your manager to discuss what’s needed to get you there. --- SS
