Pros

Excellent consulting experience to further strengthen a broad set of skills. Fellows have a lot of responsibility and opportunity to positively impact their company. Good way to switch careers into sustainability, and a few EDF fellows have gone to work full-time for their host. Well-organized and thoughtful matching process.

Cons

Matching decisions are made later in the year, although this also means you can have a good plan A back-up if you don't want to take any fall MBA internship offers. The training experience is a great way to meet other EDF fellows, although EDF continues to refine the process since it's hard to meet training needs for such a diverse group.

Pros

A community of mission-driven staff who truly care about the planet and the causes that EDF advances. Extremely smart and kind staff. Incredible benefits, including a significant amount of company days off (summer Fridays, org shut-down for one week at the end of August, days off include Veteran's Day and Juneteenth); very generous benefits.

Cons

Out-of-touch top leadership, especially Executive Director, who pretends to be authentic and caring but isn't at all.
