Pros

Virtually everyone who isn't in upper management are such genuinely nice people, and some of my colleague have now become very good friends of mine. The company likes to treat its employees to gifts, which is nice if you like that. Might get to leave early every now and then. Quite accommodating during lockdown with equipment and moral boosting stuff.

Cons

If you're not a person that says YES to everything then you're not going to be a good fit here. Overtime is rampant in the organisation and you get no overtime pay, you're just expected to it it. Salaries are quite pathetic unless you come in at Director level then you're making stupid money. Also for everyone who isn't a director, you might get a pay raise but it wouldn't even surpass that of inflation, so basically the longer you stay here the worse off you are financially. They no longer have their quirky office, which was always meant to be a 'plus' about the company. Now they're just renting a room in a co-working style type business which is quite boring. Pretty much all the 4-5 star reviews on here are fake, either done by upper management or by asking brand new employees to do a review, before they've had the chance to really see Silver for what it is. Certain members of upper management have acted VERY inappropriately to lower level employees and then abused their position/level within the company to a point where if said victim employee wanted to blow the whistle on anything, it would get pushed under the carpet. The Creative team have been ground to a paste in the past 1-2 years from the workload that has been given to them. Even when they have asked for people to be hired into the team, upper management dragged their feet for so long. Yet somehow they can just make jobs out of thin air for their 'friends', and pay them stupidly high salaries. We've had about 2-3 directors/advisors (whatever their titles are), hired in the past year and for the life of me I still don't know what they do for the company, apart from give us more work!

Pros

Some cool people work down in the mines. Their swag has swagger.

Cons

Everything you can imagine: pay, leadership, benefits, work-life balance, transparency, communication...I still have nightmares about working here.
