      Pros

      Smart, motivated colleagues. Meaningful, inspiring work. Flexible time off and remote-work options.

      Cons

      Low pay and limited career growth opportunities. Complex internal structure slows decision-making. Too many nonprofit-style layers of hierarchy. Leadership could provide clearer direction. Internal software and systems are messy and inefficient.

      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.
