Pros

You can have a very comfortable work / life balance due to the flexible work hours as well as being able to work from home. Great for those with families. If you are willing to worship the ground management walk on, then you'll be accepted into the pack very quickly and opportunities will be presented in no time for decent career growth.

Cons

Your salary will be well below average for the job you do. Middle management (for the most part) are blind to their mistakes and will try to find others to throw the blame on rather than own up to it. There is a very strong culture of a "cool kids club" so if you're not willing to kiss the ground those in a leadership position walk on, then you'll have an impossible time being acknowledged, let alone heard by if you have an idea on a particular project.

Pros

Envato was founded by some of the most generous and thoughtful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They're an organization that absolutely practices what it preaches from a corporate and social culture standpoint, and they truly do care about their employees. I've been proud to have been part of it for so many years.

Cons

It's difficult to pinpoint a true con with Envato. Outside of the typical friction that arises with any growing company that experiences focus shifts and reorgs, there's nothing specifically negative that I could speak to.
