Pros

CleanEdison is ideal because it still has the office atmosphere of a start-up with the market presence and foothold of a very large company. If you are willing to put in the work, you can rise very quickly and take on new challenges. There is a lot of support from the other employees as well as management, and you are often pushed to do things you didn't know you were capable of. I have learned more in the last year than all of my higher education combined, and I am very excited to see where this company goes in the near future.

Cons

There is a lot to do and things are always moving at 100 miles an hour. It can be stressful if you're not organized and you let things pile up. There are a couple things operationally that can fly at the current size, but will become impossible to handle with growth. It can be hard for quality control when the subject matter experts are always on the road and there is no one in-house who knows the material well enough to make sure that everything is perfect.

Pros

CleanEdison offers a very dynamic work environment. My internship is therefore a very fast-paced educational experience. As a Product Development Intern I was introduced to the world of Product Development and Marketing. I am delegated quite a few daily tasks as well as tasks due at a later date so there is always something new to learn and master. I learned A LOT about developing a product in a start-up environment as well as familiarized myself with the sustainable marketing industry and SEO. I started working for CleanEdison when it was still a start-up and we got acquired halfway through my internship. Therefore we went from a busy, flexible work environment to a more rigorous and organized one. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I consider myself lucky to have experienced both. I was allowed to take the equivalent of a week and a half work weeks worth of days off during my internship which I sincerely appreciated. Also, as a commuter to NYC, it was a huge benefit to be working for a company that understood how difficult it is to arrive precisely at 9 am every morning and who was able to be somewhat flexible with my punch in/ punch out times.

Cons

One of the challenges I experienced was the "learn as you go" approach. It makes for quick learning, but not only is it stressful, but I definitely could have become more efficient and productive much quicker if I had been formally trained,over the course of two or three days, rather than learning different approaches, software, policies etc over the course of one month. Also watch that thermostat.
