Pros

As the title says EDF has amazing environmental projects and the majority of the people who work at EDF tend to be great. The organization is very slowly trying to make progress to advance career development and employee retention but it still has a long way to go.

Cons

There is no transparency or clear career path at EDF. Very few high level managers and directors are mentors and you have to be extremely pro active to get ahead.
