A Real Disappointment - Anonymous employee Silverline Employee Review

Don't let the gushing, overwhelmingly positive reviews fool you - employees are asked to submit Glassdoor reviews almost constantly here. Silverline was an amazing company until recently. An influx of new external leadership about 2 years ago and the exit of many of their more dedicated and culture-enabling employees have made things go down hill very quickly. The new delivery leadership, at that point, told all of we consultants that we were part of a "consulting factory" now - not exactly in line with the supposed values of challenging ideas and breaking new ground. What other reviewers have said about favoritism is absolutely true. Additionally, other than the two founders, the leadership team tends to shrink away when teams/employees need help or guidance, only to reappear later with accusations (and later manifesting their accusations through gossip with their favs). Their culture is essentially nonexistent these days despite plenty of posters proclaiming their values around the office. Salary was decent in my experience, but annual adjustments are abysmal and the incentive plan shadily changes without any notice. Be prepared to take on new roles/titles without it being considered a promotion or effecting salary either. As mentioned in pros they throw some terrific parties, but it is hard to see this as completely positive when you are one of the consultants billing 40+ hours per week and the company's resources are wasted on hors d'oeuvres. There is an insane amount of turnover as well - if you saw their post on Valentine's Day about why employees love Silverline, the only highlighted employee who still works there is the CEO (there may have been one more person who remains); everyone else jumped ship ages ago.
