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.
