      Pros

      EDF is a fantastic place to work. The organization invest heavily in the professional development of staff, providing frequent growth opportunities through promotions, in-house leadership training and budget for external trainings. Purpose driven community that also knows how to have fun together. Great benefits!

      Cons

      Work is constrained by grant cycles and funder interests.

      Pros

      Some absolutely stellar people--dedicated, smart, collaborative, passionate. Because of its name recognition and reputation, it is relatively well-funded for an NGO.

      Cons

      Internal politics are no joke. It's hard to advance unless you network with the important people. There are some huge egos in positions of power (alongside some really fantastic people), but even the smart ones don't have enough management training and you end up with great people doing interesting work who have poor management skills. Not across the board, by any means, but if you get stuck in one of those streams, it's very hard to advance your career. Also, regular reorgs make it stressful unless you have a good manager who can insulate you.

      The best part of working at EDF are the people. You are able to interact with some of the brightest and smartest minds in the business. Everyone regardless of what level they are in the company, treat you like you are the same.

      I do not have any negative reviews on working at EDF.
