Pros

The people are passionate and when you land on a good team things are amazing. Good benefits and decent pay. The mission is super important and EDF is well positioned to make change.

Cons

Very little clarity on organizational structure and is constantly changing. Upper management is out of touch with the rest of the organization. Budget is mismanaged.

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.
