    2. What is it like working at ICF ? Our company has recently been acquired by them and I am curious about the culture there. Would anyone working there have any advice on how to be successful at ICF?

        Pros

        Bereavement leave is clutch and includes a wide range of family outside of "immediate family." Dental benefits are better than average corporate benefits. Holidays and PTO are generous.

        Cons

        Saddening that the company doesn't do more to retain their employees who have invested years of work supporting the company. I wanted to stay with ICF, but there was almost zero assistance/effort in finding the right placement internally to do so. The performance review cycle is tedious. No corporate/annual bonuses for the "worker bees."

        What is the COL where you live? On average, I would say the salary range is around $110-120k

      Senior Consultant

      I just finished a second round interview. I think it went well. I have a question if the interviewer towards the end asks personal questions like favorite sports team and other non work related questions. Is that a good sign? They didn’t mention anything about next steps at the end. They hadn’t in the first round either the recruiter reached out to my surprise for the second round.

      I just learned that having a "growth mindset" means doing the work of 3 people. . Is it just my experience? Is that what it means loosely?
