Nightmare at Supermicro

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- You get paid - Free breakfast/ dinner (only if you stay late)

Cons

- Over 90% of the people there speak Mandarin...some really need to learn to speak English - Supermicro-management - Old dirty office space, no privacy - Non-flexible working hours, have to be there no later than 9am, and if you leave right at 6pm you get dirty look. - Prepare to deal with managers with Bi-Polar disorder. - The CEO only cares about giving his propaganda speech..saying that they are the best and s***, and in order to be his "Pro ++" level everyone has to work even harder. (Prob by staying later and working on weekend...over nothing) - No respect, they think whoever yells the loudest is the winner....

Pros

Free breakfast (but only enough for half the building). Paid benefits. It's a job. No one gets fired, they just hire more people. Great if you're looking for somewhere to work until you retire.

Cons

No opportunity for professional growth, gaining new skills or learning anything really. Salary is way below average. Vacation is accrued slowly and caps out lower than other companies in the area. People rarely take vacation. Female employees beware: Company policy says that if you take maternity leave they will not guarantee you your same position will be there when you come back or that you'll be paid the same wage as before. This is illegal. You must be at work by 9am and stay until 6pm. You cannot work through lunch and leave early. You cannot negotiate a different schedule. No work from home. IT professionals who work more than 8 hours a day are not paid overtime. This is illegal in California. You will only be promoted if you work Saturdays. Most people working Saturdays aren't really doing anything but being seen at work on a Saturday. The CEO takes note of this. If you are female, some employees may not take you seriously. No innovation. No new ideas. No changes if it means spending money instead of saving.

Pros

team work, caring managers. If you are looking for career growth, this is the place you want to stay for at least 5 years.

Cons

messy org chart, sometimes you dont know who to talk to. Role and responsibility is not well defined, need to take more time to get used to the culture.
