No trust in leadership

Pros

Wonderful, smart, hardworking colleagues. Everyone is on their A game here but I also have run into very few big egos. The work is also engaging and varied - EDF seems to touch almost everything in the climate world. The pay and benefits are also very good for a nonprofit.

Cons

Upper leadership seems completely out of touch and uninterested/uninformed about the work actually happening on the ground. Dangling layoffs over everyone’s heads for five months (!) and then having no substantial or clear communication on the new org structure after the “reduction in force” felt beyond insulting. Morale is very low.
