      Toxic culture and management won't listen.

      Pros

      EDF employees are some of the most fantastic people I've ever met. They care deeply. It's a shame that is taken advantage of. If you're a cis het white man (bonus points if you went to an Ivy), you'll likely be fine. Everyone else? Avoid.

      Cons

      Toxic managers are encouraged. People who were outed as racist and misogynist in the reckoning of 2020 have only been empowered and promoted and now lead the org. Employee concerns about inequity, burnout, and a top-heavy structure are summarily dismissed. Too many people have stayed at the org too long, cultivating a fear of any kind of change. Junior staff are usually doing the jobs of 2-3 people, working outrageous hours, and not being properly compensated or titled. There's no transparency in decision-making, and any constructive feedback is discouraged (or outright punished). The focus is on protecting power rather than addressing harms.
