Pros

They pay you on time

Cons

One of the most soulless and profit driven companies I've ever worked for. Micromanagement down to the 15 min increments on time sheets, 95% utilization targets while trying to pull in new business AND win proposals. Management knows targets are ludicrous but sets them anyway all the while doing nothing in the face of changing business climates. When I get frustrated in my new job I think of how bad it was at icf and I feel better.
