Employees at Silverlake Structured Services appreciate the opportunities to learn, such as exposure to IBM i development environments and gaining banking knowledge. They also value the supportive colleagues and management, as well as the flexibility in working hours and the ability to work from home. The company offers good benefits, including automatic satisfactory salary increments every year.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as a heavy workload at times, with numerous production issues, understaffing, and multiple tasks and clients to handle simultaneously. There is a potential need for more training and support, particularly for beginners and for version control and collaboration among team members. Additionally, dealing with clients, especially bank management teams, can be challenging and require effective communication and negotiation skills. Employees may also need to adapt to different work environments, such as being based overseas or working on project sites with demanding clients.
