Pros

EDF has provided ample career advancement, and given me the opportunity to really choose what I wanted to work on and explore what intersts me most. There's excellent comraderie amongst employees, and a strong sense of purpose.

Cons

The organization has a strong consensus culture, which can make it difficult to finalize decisions on the fly. To be fair, management is working to solve the problem.

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.
