Toxic Workplace. Account theft. Infighting. Back Stabbing. Misinformation sharing. Asian style politics.

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good pay. Decent stock incentives.

Cons

Working at Supermicro requires a certain type of personality. You'll need to endure a workplace based on Asian style politics instead of merit. Your competition at Supermicro isn't Dell, HP, or Lenovo. Your competition at Supermicro is other Supermicro employees. Account theft, infighting, back stabbing, misinformation sharing are all daily tactics used at the company. Staying at this company requires you to "become like them."

Long hours, low pay, and toxic culture

Applications engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Free Saturday lunches (yes, Saturday) * Not much work to do even though everybody seem to work overtime

Cons

* Low pay- I have since moved on to other companies, but considering how low I and my peers were paid, I was bewildered why any engineer would want to work for Supermicro * Long hours- my entire team works EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY, and we regularly work till 8PM during weekdays * Toxic culture- I have seen my manager retaliate subordinate for HR reports, employee jump ranks to back-stab immediate lead, and nasty office romance fallouts

Horrible Upper Management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free breakfast Wage is ok sort of Other employees are pretty friendly. The job is not bad.

Cons

Upper management is horrific. Pretty much everyone in upper management has no management training, zero knowledge of what they are doing, constantly try to back stab and nit pick, the environment is very Asian so the best way to get promoted is to brown nose or be there longer.
