Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro) reviews

My first day I only had a desk and chair.. NO LAPTOP, COMPUTER SCREENS, MOUSE, KEYBOARD, AND NOTHING!!! I can't believed on my first day I HAVE to talk to the IT to get it all sort it out. I can't believe my manager did not help get everything set up. Oh Training? No such thing, My manager didn't want to help me. I had to find help and beg my co workers who are on the other teams to help me. MY OWN MANAGER didn't want to help me what is up with that?! Why are you even a manager? Management team sucks here, PLEASE PROMOTE HARDWORKING AND HONEST WORKERS NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME. The rule here is you can't switch in to a different departments or move up unless you've been here for two years. What on earth is that kind of rule is that?!? This is why majority of the people here are lazy and slow... working here reminds me of the DMV. The work culture? I can't believe all the things I hear and seen of manager backstabbing their team mates, and gossip about each other. This is why working here is such a mess nobody gets a long with each other. There is no team player here. There is so many times when I was given assignments from my co-worker while I was working on their assignment. They would be taking nap on the desk! What type of co workers would do that to you. Everyday at work, I'd hear manager and co- workers yelled and scream at each other. HR don't do anything or care. If you speak Mandarin you can survive being here, but if you don't GOOD LUCK. Protect your mental health and don't even come here. Don't walk, but RUN away from this company!!

1. Low pay. Bonus pay for salaries employees is way lower than hourly employees. Pay raise is pathetic. 2. Too much overtime. Expect to work 9-7 pm everyday (longer if you are busy), Saturday half day, and some Sunday or holiday if they tell you. You have no full holidays as long as you work here because they will force you to come one day on holiday weekend. 2 days is the highest break you can get. You will never get 3 days off (Except new year holiday). 3. Poor management and lots of complains over nothing. That’s the manager’s jobs - to watch you and think of what to complain. Since they don’t know any technical or engineering stuffs. 4. Chinese culture. You will hear Chinese at least 90% of the time, 5% other languages and 5% English. You will be left out if you don’t speak Chinese. 5. Messy work environment and lack of resources. The whole workplace is too messy, tiny, out of place and no room to place servers. You don’t get anything of your own. You will be sharing with other people’s stuffs. You have to wait until someone finishes using something. 6. No room for growth. You will be doing same boring stuffs every single day after like 3 months or so on. There is no much to learn, grow or gain experience after 1 year. 7. Physically tiring. You will be standing and moving around all the time at least in my role. The whole day, I probably sit only like an hour. It’s full of heavy workload every single day even if the job is easy. 8. Mentally stressful. Everything is urgent and rushed, they will push you all the time. Multitasking doesn’t mean you are doing 2 things, here it means you will be doing 5-6 things at the same time.
