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.
