About the general processing of Sentinel-1, please see here:

Radiometric & Geometric Correction Workflow

for SLC data I would suggest TOPS Split Apply Orbit file Thermal Noise Removal Calibration to Beta0* TOPSAR Deburst Radiometric terrain flattening (Speckle filtering) Range Doppler Terrain Correction If you don’t need the phase information you can also download it as a GRD product and only apply the following: Apply Orbit file Thermal noise removal Calibration to Beta0 Radiometric terrain flattening (Speckle filtering) Range Doppler Terrain Correction or (if you don’t have much topography)…
