Pros

CleanEdison gives employees the opportunity to manage themselves. You need to be able to take on a variety of responsibilities and accomplish tasks efficiently. But if you can learn to work in the startup environment, you'll gain more experience here than in any larger corporate operation. The office is young and all employees and interns are great people who you'll love working with and hanging out with outside of the office

Cons

As anyone who has worked in a startup knows, some days are going to be extremely stressful. You have to work within a tighter budget and on shorter deadlines. Because the company is small, you need to be able to communicate effectively with everyone in order to run things smoothly, and you need to be willing to pick up the slack even if it falls out of your department. If you're willing to adapt and run with the freedom within CleanEdison you'll learn a lot.

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.
