How is your life working in silverlake ???

Does you feel is meanningful, and can see your future and any suggestion for me in my future ???

Please share it and sound it aloud thanks

silverlake ? where is that ?

it is IT company involved in Banking-IT environment..
heard that junior got RM2k there..

hmm... how about the increment, bonus and benefits offered?

im not silverlake staff, but i have 2 friends work there..
so, sorry if the info is not exactly right..

after 2 years, their got roughly rm2.7k..
but i think the money was not the main issue..
u can gain so much knowledge and skills there..
the OS is not using windows..
i dont know what the name of OS..
it's like a UNIX..there's no interface (GUI)..
because it is banking system, so u can imagine a lot of coding

the main office at Damansara..and i think their working in site based..like my friends, one was attached at KWSP and another one stay at the office since there is no project that need his group to work at the site..

AS 400?

AIX i think...

hmm, i dont know..
have to check w my friend 1st

for banking and stock broking, mostly in financial.

IBM AS/400 or know as System i or Iseries.

Life not so good last 5 years, now not sure. If you work at the ground floor, space very cram.

Chinese mgmt. Lotsa managers, lotsa subsidiaries.

Is programmer work on RPG/ILE (OS/400), Webspere, Java, .NET

For system, me not sure.

they have a close tie up with OCBC group, most of them worked in singapore. the company paying for the rental, heard it's a nice condo unit. and company will pay for your flight ticket every 2 weeks or so for flying back to KL. pay wise, acceptable if you work here. and guess what, they pay RM even you work in oversea, that's very pathetic...

As I remember if you get posted overseas for project you get daily allowances. Can't remember how much but it was quite good for fresh grad.

Silverlake are Using IBM iseries ...

and programming is done with RPGLE currently,(I check from my friend) ....

Best thing is they told you you have a chance to earn 4K++ you they send you oversea, and even new people have the chance ...

But you are not lucky you have to stay in the HQ there, and my friend told me they NOT GIVING BONUS FOR YEARS ALREADY !!!! T__T

isnt it better to work at Axis than Silverlake??

Hi, I am looking for RPG programmer to Banking sector. PM me if you are interested.

I am an ex-Silverlake. Good company. Money wise is not a problem. Been travelling to a few overseas country last time as well. Good exposure if u wanna learnt programming on RPG/RPGLE. More over where else can u learnt more about AS/400? About pro n cons any company oso got one.. it all depends on urself.

ex-Silverlake??? now you're working for a bank???

Why as him which bank he is working at ???

why must be bank ???

this company is good for fresh graduate....
few of ex-colleague working there..
no bonus and they just paid the allowance if u travel oversea....

they management same like the chinamen style...
but good thing is that u can work in a team
but their application running on AS400...IBM mainframe

Silverlake deals mainly with bank projects. Gives you lots of exposure to all the banking processes and transactions, so in the future you can go to the banking industry with quite a lot of relevant experience.
