Pros

Some very sharp people work at superMicro

Cons

You are expected to work 6 days a week, They will not hire people with small children because it takes away from your work responsibilities. They actually turned down great potential hire that everyone wanted to hire just because he said he was looking for a company that offered work life balance The hiring manager said to me "find me someone that is single, can do the job, will work for nothing and we can drive into the ground..." "I don't want to hire some that's better than me and can take my job. If I lose my job then you will lose your too.." That is the running norm at SuperMicro

Pros

Supermicro has great health coverage and lots of people from different countries(Taiwan, China, Vietnam, etc.) to interact with.

Cons

Unfortunately as a salaried employee, I am required to work 55 hours per week(9am-8pm on weekdays, and 10:30am-3:30pm on Saturday). These hours would be acceptable there were alot of projects to complete, however there is often little to do and I find myself with an unbalanced work life. The real problem with the company is the competitive culture fostered by upper management. The CEO believes that having different teams competing with each other will improve performance. However, this results in the teams stealing ideas from each other to get ahead and creates distrust within each department. This problem further exacerbates productivity in that each group cannot ask another group for help or access to their existing/old projects. I can finish projects much faster and with better quality if I had resources from my coworkers. Instead, I feel like I am always reinventing the wheel.

Pros

Fast growing company. If you are willing to take additional responsibility and go beyond, you will own it. This is a public company but still feels like startup, a lot of opportunities and challenges you can can take and grow. Company's financial is very strong and stable.

Cons

Depends on different departments, workload could be heavy sometimes because of strong business.
