Pros

Flexible WFH and Great Colleagues

Cons

If you've read the previous reviews, the are 100% accurate . CDP was recently acquired by a private equity firm and has two company-wide reorgs in the past few years, resulting in around 20% of colleagues to be laid off. Many of us have accepted lower salaries because we believed in the orgs mission and the positive impact of its work. Meanwhile, senior leadership continues to receive very substantial compensation packages, often exceeding $500K. With this recent sale, there is considerable uncertainty about what lies ahead. Many employees are concerned about further org changes, additional cost-cutting measures, and the possibility of future redundancies. While nobody can predict exactly what will happen, morale has been significantly affected by the level of uncertainty. Don't walk, RUN!

Pros

The people are united by the mission to address the climate crisis. The benefits in certain regions are good though in-office requirements are trending in new job requisitions.

Cons

Everything has been upended for the worse. There were at least 3 significant restructures in a very short timespan. There are no proper channels to provide feedback on poor people managers leaving direct reports to fend for themselves in a turbulent environment with conflicting direction. If you join in the next year at least, expect to spend most of your time putting out fires that should not have been started in the first place. It will take a lot of patience and evidence before employees start to regain faith in the work again. No one feels empowered to challenge decisions or the new corporate culture. The people running the show have just about run this place to the ground, and if your line manager has little influence in the organization, your team and mental health will bear the brunt unfortunately. I think many feel stuck and are just waiting for change to come.
