Pros

Very smart people and great mission. EDF has good benefits and tried to balance work with family and life. Shorter work week and generous vacation.

Cons

No growth. There is no career potential here. Promotions are only for leadership. Lot of turnover of bright young staff - they hire from ivy leagues in lowly positions, stymie their growth till they get tired of waiting and leave. Same with middle management - either you are let go because of no funding or because there is no career path.
