      Pros

      Perhaps the most effective environmental NGO to work at the intersection of environment, markets, and business. Most employees feel like they have an ability to shape the national dialogue on environmental issues and the organization is creative in it's approach.

      Cons

      There is no clear path for advancement within the organization, so it's up to employees to "figure it out" and make opportunities happen for themselves. Compensation for employees that rise up within the organization does not keep pace with new employees.

      Pros

      EDF makes a positive impact around the globe and has incredibly skilled and passionate people working on critical issues. EDF also makes a point to invest in their employees and leadership is generally receptive to feedback.

      Cons

      EDF is a large organization, so reaching out to find answers on items even as essential as your healthcare benefits can be a challenge. I wish the HR team took more initiative and care with orienting new employees and provided more detailed breakdowns on topics that they need to know for their roles/personal lives. I also think that the HR team should be more accountable for answering all emails sent to the general HR email, since that is one of the only ways to reach that department when individual questions come up and what they respond to seems selective at best.
