      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.

      Great place to work, important mission. Smart people, but less than they think.

      Pros

      Great atmosphere, with smart, pragmatic people who value innovation and do not adhere to the typical dogmas of environmentalism. Good work-life balance. Wonderful focus on science-based environmentalism, including economics.

      Cons

      An organisation that is a little too full of itself, and sometimes lacks perspective. HR is often unresponsive, except when it comes to letting people go. Upper management in some programs are disengaged from their operational staff.
