Pros

A wealthy and mostly well run organization, a somewhat laid back attitude. Good health benefits, matched 401k after 3 mo.

Cons

Difficult at times to know where you stand with your managers and team. Lots of turn over, even at the top. If you come in at an Entry Level position, only 1 in 30 have a chance of growing and moving up.

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.
