      Pros

      As the title says EDF has amazing environmental projects and the majority of the people who work at EDF tend to be great. The organization is very slowly trying to make progress to advance career development and employee retention but it still has a long way to go.

      Cons

      There is no transparency or clear career path at EDF. Very few high level managers and directors are mentors and you have to be extremely pro active to get ahead.

      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.
