Pros

EDF is well resourced and laser focused on delivering results. My coworkers were some of the smartest and most dedicated people I've ever met. Their commitment to win-win solutions and science-based methods is really inspiring.

Cons

It can be difficult to see an actual career path there. In part, this is because people stay there for decades, which is really a compliment. At the same time, many people have to leave the organization for a while and return at a higher position.

Pros

Great central location, newly renovated office space. Some genuine colleagues that care about the environment. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Very high turnover from the Executive team on down. Prominent nepotism, cliquish & uninviting work environment, lack opportunities for professional development within the org.
