Pros

Brilliant, passionate people working on research and projects that make a real difference. Superiors really cared about my progress but also gave me independence on my own project.

Cons

When I was there years ago, the office space in San Francisco was quite antisocial, and people from different groups did not interact much at all. They were making strides change that, and I hope they have!

Pros

Wonderful people, great mission, lots of autonomy and creative thinking is encouraged.

Cons

Career growth potential may be limited depending on your field; pay is good for non-profit but it is still a non-profit salary.

Pros

Great place to work. Very professional staff working on and effecting change on a wide range of environmental issues. I've worked at several environmental nonprofits in the DC area and EDF is by far the best one I've worked for.

Cons

No major cons that I can think of.
