Pros

Some of their projects are doing good in the world, though many are just in the background.

Cons

Senior management is very cliquey and stuck in the past. There is no company culture or pride in the organization. They underpay their staff even compared to other nonprofits in the space so there's constant turnover

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.
