Pros

Knowledgable coworkers who are passionate about their work and sense of community

Cons

Not great with rolling out org-wide procedures and general communication. Things move slowly with the execs and sometimes their advice to employees is not helpful or relatable ("take afternoons off for the whole week to get outdoor time" but still expected to complete the same amount of work that week)

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.
