Pros

high turnover means opportunities for outsiders server industry is quite strong- the company is growing despite its many flaws

Cons

-this list could go on for quite a while so I will just list the top issues -no 401k matching - figure out your retirement on your own -a lot of micro-managing and approvals for small issues -questionable rehiring of fired employees- lack of leadership context - in 2018 supermicro was delisted from Nasdaq due to discrepancies in the 10K filing- salespeople who were artificially pumping their numbers up were fired. This alone is a good thing, get rid of bad apples. However, a number of those apples were rehired though not in their original sales positions. This is a horrid decision. -no plan to retain high performers- a lot of great people have left the company -low vacation days- I've been here years and the # of days has not increased. I was talking to a customer and exclaimed "You measure your vacation in weeks?"

Pros

I have enjoyed working in the Supermicro IT & DataCenter infrastructure group. It's an exciting opportunity to be directly involved in some of the most impactful trends in the industry, including AI infrastructure, liquid cooling, high-density computing, and next-generation data center design. As an IT Director focused on Applications and data center infrastructure, I have been able to work with talented, dedicated engineers and business leaders to meet complex customer requirements. The company moves quickly, embraces innovation, and provides opportunities to make meaningful contributions rather than getting lost in layers of bureaucracy.

Cons

The pace can be demanding, and priorities sometimes shift as the business continues to grow rapidly. There are times when processes, tools, and organizational structures are still catching up to the company's expansion. Success often requires flexibility, a willingness to take ownership, and the ability to navigate ambiguity. Employees who prefer highly structured environments and clearly defined boundaries may find the pace challenging.
