Pros

I work with whip smart professionals dedicated to addressing climate. We focus on CO2eq reductions not on revenues, and it seems to be working.

Cons

Total confusion about vacation time. I was given two weeks off in my offer letter, and when I tried to negotiate, was told that I could take off the time I needed. But there appears to be some contradictory messaging going on.

Thank you for your feedback. Our policy guarantees a minimum of four weeks paid time off excluding protected leaves. Employees who work more hours can take additional time off without a limit. It is our intention to offer flexibility to support a diversity of working styles and life situations.

Pros

Time off is relatively easy to take, lots of young, smart people working there

Cons

The biggest issue is management. Like others have said, middle management is not great. There is a tendency to promote people based on their ability to administer programs and achieve program goals. But that means your direct boss is likely to be a micro-manager who is good at task work, but not good at managing people. There seems to be an assumption on the part of senior management that if you are smart you can be a good manager and that's just not the case. These folks need training first. I would also echo the comment that the work can be monotonous.

Poor Management

Pros

Decent salary for semi-challenging work.

Cons

Managers - Ego driven, control freaks that hugely play favorites. Poor training and communication. High turnover, poor work/life balance. I heard more negativity about the company from my manager than anyone else.
