Pros

Great staff: knowledgable, friendly, passionate. Very flexible work/life balance. Decent benefit package.

Cons

Leadership is: - old and out of touch - hires great people but doesn't trust them to do their jobs - bending to the will of a few billionaire donors rather than a wider, younger base

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.
