Pros

Excellent leadership -- they are transparent, open, and discuss concrete strategy at monthly all-staff meetings. They also take the time to ensure that day-to-day culture is supportive for all as well as emphasizing being kind and considerate to each other. I have yet to have an interaction with anyone in the company who is mean, rude or disrespectful. Work-life balance is truly balanced. Hard work is recognized and rewarded throughout the year. Office building is LEED-certified and environmental friendliness is promoted through subsidies, tax deductions and monthly prizes for sustainable commuting (biking, walking, electric cars). The workplace attracts people who are active and fun, and who want to incorporate effecting positive change in their daily work. Low employee turnover. Great downtown location. Fun employee parties twice a year, and smaller team-building activities quarterly. Colleagues are super fun and organize activities and get-togethers outside of work hours.

Cons

Honestly, none. Love working here!

Pros

Ecology Action is full of planet-passionate people working tirelessly to solve carbon reduction across the highest emitting sectors. It feels incredible to have a career that brings such value and lasting impact, and nearly all employees at EA share in this mission and truly take it to heart. I work on a team that puts their people above productivity, resulting in incredible culture, work-life balance, and having genuine fun at work. Our shared leadership model results in total trust, a psychologically safe environment, and authenticity in how each of us shows up.

Cons

Teams and business units can be siloed leading to some disparate functions, and accountability to software, policies and procedures can be lacking-- but the organization is actively working on this.

Pros

Able to work in Santa Cruz, CA

Cons

The leadership team, especially the CEO, COO, and Leadership Coach have created a cult-like culture based on the teachings of Landmark; discredited as it has been . Toxic culture built around manipulating staff and clients’ perceptions instead of responsibly addressing issues. Lacks a coherent business strategy and operating model. No career development pathways.
