I hope u could cope with it. At the end of the day, the training wont help much when u start working. Haha. The real training start when u assign into a team and given a task.

So now, Enjoy ur honeymoon in SL ^^ !!!!

Btw, ur surname is pang? I saw 2 look in the new recruit list. 17 ppl = same amount as ur training batch

Just a wild guess. I saw 2 loon in the new recruit list. ^^

What benefit u expected to have?

Internet? No. Only Gmail, Gtalk YM, MSN
Bonus? No. Company trend.
Increment? Depends really.
Turn over is high. Why? Ppl come in to get experience, then leave after received a better offer be it from clients or other company.
Travel? Depends on the team ur in. Luck plays apart.

Yes, able to use Windows Messenger. Not WLM dou. WLM available if u ask the admin to install it for u but i dun think u would do dat when ur new.

Internet is blocked so its not only facebook. haha.

Haha. Nearly impossible no job la.

When ur new maybe. You can take ur time learning the system etc. Sooner or later ur team lead will ask u to do something. If not, ask him/her. Take initiative lo. Could help the appraisal ma.

Well,

RPG is totally a new thing (or too old) compared to VB.net . If u were assigned to do RPG/backend, you'll have to attend a 1 month RPG training. If ur doing java, i think they have java team as well. Its more into R & D I guess.

However, if u dont wanna go overseas, u can tell them. They seldom send some1 new to go oversea as well because there is lots of ppl waiting to go

At wisma kemajuan ss19? If ur good, pls go. Pls check out why there is always internet dc issue. HAhaha.

Im not sure about the exposure. Its a data center for 2 of our oversea clients. Development room have around 20ppl but the datacenter room shud be less den 10 including operators. There i think u would have data center experience of how to handle as400 admistration like hardware upgrade etc etc. My guess ^^

Our software solutions is not something u can get from internet. It can tell u RPG codes but not how the system works. So, they give u RPG training and expect u to know them after the training. There are senior who will guide u there. I believe u will chat and surf web more than looking for solution if u get the opportunity to on9. Dats wat i do when i got the chance. LOL.

Anyhow, im able to IM and Gtalk and check Gmail only. Other blocked. T.T

Accommodation overseas provided by Silverlake is always very good. U live in good apartments condos whenever ur being assigned no matter its Japan, Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand. Accommodation is the thing u dont have to worry about

No idea about exceptional claims. My guess its some special claims dat need management approval.

Because Thaipusam falls on Sat. Local based Silverlakers can replace the ph leave on either Friday or Monday. Most ppl took Monday so its no surprise ur superior did the same

Anyway, welcome and i hope u enjor ur stay

Syaz... we call him the Malay God (no racist but we call him dat becos not many malays in Silverlake).

Regina: I'm in CreditCard team. Good luck finding me. LOL

Hehe. Credit Card dept is not dat big. Guess urself

What do u mean by the xmas tree? I only know heard dat he started as an office boy after spm and GPO noticed him and get him to R&D training with the Silverlake founders in the states.

Ur wrong. 100 vacancies for fresh grad is no joke unless ur not aiming for a fresh grad or a lower position. For higher postions/pay, they will need ppl in the similar fields.

Ohhhh. Well, i didnt see the tree before. haha. But if is able to do dat, he must have change the AS/400 kernel stuff like how the hackers do to windows. I know hes one great hacker because he know the network so well.
He know how our system communicate with banks like how the socket connect or so in detail coding and not those TCP/IP configurations like what the network admins usually do.

Well, i guess he still below 30 or late 20's rite?

Calling him a geek is nicer to hear

I tot it have change to a 2 year bond now. Pls correct me if u may.

IQ test only.

Heard that staffs joined between 2006 and 2009 as fresh grad will have adjustment.

Luckyfield: Environment in KL office can consider as an IT environment. No personal cubicle. Just many rows of PC where each rows contains around 10 pcs. We got around 100 rows for developers. Only Managements and accounts have rooms and cubicle. 10am and 3pm got kakak push trolley serving milo, teh and kopi aldou not in the best quality

Good luck

For tea u can use ur own mug or use the provided cup. Many design too choose. Lol

Yea limited internet + pentium 4 pc. Good enough for as400 and rpg.

Travel depends on luck and team. Some team have many project overseas and some only local. But if u dont wanna go, pls inform them earlier so they can headcount or put u in other team etc. However, most fresh grad would like to go oversea due to the per diem.

The advantage of staying in office is your are going to have a development environment and experience. You get to learn more cos ur bosses are around. On client site u'll be doing implementation and support most of the time like a bank staff. Another advantage for guys are you guys get to look at those leng luis from IBM and KPMG during lunch time where you could never find one in Silverlake

What position ur offered and wat team?
