      Pros

      Very smart people and great mission. EDF has good benefits and tried to balance work with family and life. Shorter work week and generous vacation.

      Cons

      No growth. There is no career potential here. Promotions are only for leadership. Lot of turnover of bright young staff - they hire from ivy leagues in lowly positions, stymie their growth till they get tired of waiting and leave. Same with middle management - either you are let go because of no funding or because there is no career path.

      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.
