Pros

Great mission, awesome flexibility, annual merit increases, possibility of travel, offices all across the US (and in major cities), ability to work remotely, decent benefits!

Cons

Hard to grow professionally internally, no managerial support (no toolkits for those who have direct reports), no transparency on hiring bands (titling and compensation), no consistencies across the organization on processes and procedures as well as compensation and promotions, no pay adjustments for cost-of-living.

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.
