      Pros

      The people. It takes some time, but once you find your tribe, you'll enjoy working with them every minute.

      Cons

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      While not equal across staff, I felt strongly like my manager saw and invested in my talent and that retention and institutional knowledge were valued. EDF attracts strong talent and has generous benefits and a fun work environment (the annual retreat is fantastic). Innovative work culture.

      Cons

      Lack of transparency, micromanagement, and fear or retribution at leadership level.
