Good goals, okay people, bad workflow - Activist Electronic Frontier Foundation Employee Review

Pros

Strong mission, inspiring environment, getting to work on some of the most important and complex problems in digital rights

Cons

Legal team has near unilateral power, lawyers use that power poorly. Some lawyers consistently tried to influence tech projects without legitimate tech expertise. Others approached any outward-facing work skittishly—led to organization being late on many pressing issues or entirely absent, a ridiculous failure to accept when some issues, mainly legislation, have real deadlines in Congress. Bad managers peppered throughout with few systems in place to address their negative impact on the org. Projects routinely die right before the finish line. Self-terminating feedback is allowed too often (sometimes a project will die because "It's not EFF-y enough").
