      Mix of large organization structure and mid-size office flexibility

      Pros

      An excellent organization to work for in the areas where there is the largest funding. There is untapped potential in some areas that can be utilized more often, but the need goes to where the donations are greatest.

      Cons

      Sometimes, the executive management team focuses too much on a few individual contributors as compared to the team that took them to success.

      Pros

      I enjoyed my time at EDF. It's a positive work environment with a lot of collaboration and opportunities for growth. They made a strong effort for the whole staff to know about the programs and feel inspired about the mission.

      Cons

      There were very few cons! I had challenges with a manager for part of my time there, but was always able to turn to other staff as mentors.
