Not a good company to work for as an assembler

Assembler/tester

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There's a vending machine in the dining room where random employees always shakes and hits, so there will be free snacks that drop down more than once in a while to be shared around the assembly line workers. Besides that, insurance and benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

Managers that have no idea whats going on and expect you to go overtime all day everyday just to increase the production. People who work at the assembly line are treated like dirt (the ones without any education and dont speak english well and taken advantage of), and at least back when I worked there it felt like a legalized sweatshop that pays in US dollars so it gets by. You will have 0 work life balance, and unless you are struggling to get by in the US and Supermicro is your only hope due to not speaking English and having no other connects

A very good stepping stone for career advancement

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lot's of really great people to work with, there is a camaraderie because everyone is all complaining about the same thing.

Cons

Horrendous management style, no advancement opportunities. You will see you peers in other industry advance much faster than you could have at Supermicro.
