Pros

NONE. 0. NOTHING. NADA. NON-EXISTENT

Cons

Oh where do I start! If Chernobyl is a 10 in the range of 1-10 for THE MOST TOXIC places, Supermicro is a 9.9! HORRIBLE work life balance. Be prepared to work 10-11 hours per day WITHOUT overtime pay if you are exempt. HIGH STRESS - Ridiculous and unrealistic expectations. Be prepared to sell your soul and become a robot. They threaten your job in "meet and greet" or in-person meetings so they don't leave a trace. BACKWARD COMPANY - They treat you like kids. You can't cross your hands (against their culture apparently) and so many more petty things they have issues with I can keep on going. They watch every minute of your break and time you. You should take your lunch exactly at the same time everyday even if you are exempt. HEAVY MICRO MANAGEMENT but also your manager wouldn't have time to guide you or onboard you as a new employee! They throw you in the ocean and expect you to stay afloat. RACISM - be prepared for racism and partiality if you're NOT Asian/Chinese. You don't feel inclusive and they target you for silly things and make an issue. I heard this from at least 3 other non-asian colleagues. CHEAP - pay way lower than the market value. Not worth the stress. Apparently this is how Chinese work culture is and I ignored all the warnings. Heard people commit suicide because of work stress in China, now I understand why. I hope companies like these don't infect US work culture. I still want to believe that not all Chinese companies are like this and I loved working with some of the employees but overall this place for sure is TOXIC. Hazard! Stay away!

Pros

There are always crabs that they can think to create every day

Cons

* Micromanaged, Make people come into work every single day from 9am-6pm, and you can't be late, however, they call meetings 3-4 times a week from 5:30-6:30 and people have to be in-person. If your home office is in HQ and you call into the meetings via Teams, you'll get scolded. * A multi billion-dollar company which is so cheap to invest in modern tools to help employees perform their jobs. They are still living and using stuffs that invented 30 years ago; very silo, very manual and unorganized * Pulling the titles: People who've been here so long but still don't know what they're talking about, yet because of their titles, they seem to talk non-sense just to make a point * Bad culture: very traditional hierarchical, to the point you have to sit behind your managers, and all the execs in a meeting * Weak benefits * Much Lower salary than industry standards * No work/life balance
