Pros

* Free Saturday lunches (yes, Saturday) * Not much work to do even though everybody seem to work overtime

Cons

* Low pay- I have since moved on to other companies, but considering how low I and my peers were paid, I was bewildered why any engineer would want to work for Supermicro * Long hours- my entire team works EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY, and we regularly work till 8PM during weekdays * Toxic culture- I have seen my manager retaliate subordinate for HR reports, employee jump ranks to back-stab immediate lead, and nasty office romance fallouts

Horrible Upper Management

Pros

Free breakfast Wage is ok sort of Other employees are pretty friendly. The job is not bad.

Cons

Upper management is horrific. Pretty much everyone in upper management has no management training, zero knowledge of what they are doing, constantly try to back stab and nit pick, the environment is very Asian so the best way to get promoted is to brown nose or be there longer.

Pros

I recommend this work place for anyone that is fresh out of college new grad. You do get good experience and the opportunity you needed. There comes great reward for talented and self motivated young folk. You will good salary raise and good title change/ promotion if you give all you have. The experience you get in here will set yourself to a better work place for tomorrow.

Cons

There is a strong Chinese culture in this company. It took time to get adjusted to the culture, you may not find everything that makes sense. But overall the Pros still bigger than the Cons in my opinion. So try to adapt and try understand the culture will be my advice.
