Pros

EDF makes a positive impact around the globe and has incredibly skilled and passionate people working on critical issues. EDF also makes a point to invest in their employees and leadership is generally receptive to feedback.

Cons

EDF is a large organization, so reaching out to find answers on items even as essential as your healthcare benefits can be a challenge. I wish the HR team took more initiative and care with orienting new employees and provided more detailed breakdowns on topics that they need to know for their roles/personal lives. I also think that the HR team should be more accountable for answering all emails sent to the general HR email, since that is one of the only ways to reach that department when individual questions come up and what they respond to seems selective at best.

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.
