Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro) reviews about "breakfast"

1. About the 5-star reviews: HR actually asked managers to post a 5-star rating on Glassdoor to help the company attract more applicants. So I wouldn't trust those recent positive reviews. 2. Management style: Managers here use fear and threats to control people. Employees are afraid to speak up or share honest opinions. Leaders don't know how to manage — they take credit when things go well and blame their teams when things go wrong. This happens at every level. It's also very common for managers to gather and gossip about their own employees behind their backs. If you don't mind being treated poorly, you might survive here, but for most people, it's one of the worst places to work in Silicon Valley. 3. Teamwork: Different departments don't cooperate. They constantly block each other and play political games. Real collaboration is rare. 4. Outdated processes: It's 2026 and we're in Silicon Valley, but this company still does almost everything by hand — manually checking files and staring at screens all day. What they call "efficiency" is really just people working long hours. 5. Root cause: All of this comes down to the old-school family-business culture from Taiwan. Decisions are made on the spot without data. There's no real strategy.

Low Pay Low Benefits Low Moral

No 401K match, health insurance could be improved (was decent years ago).

Everything Else Culture is toxic and management is too stupid to make any changes.

As someone only in their first week, it’s hard to give a full picture yet.

- everything is outdated and in-person

Terrible management, no linear growth (growth depends on favoritism or nepotism), no 401k match, internal mismanagement (it seems like internal teams are prioritizing war with each other over the growth of the company)

Toxic people, work culture, environment. Basically a mom and pops shop with no management. No flexibility, no work from home. You are being monitored to clock in/out daily. No diversity (aka racist), it seems like 50% TW, 35% CN, 14% other Asians, 1% others. Turnover rate is very high, majority population over 40 years old. No young blood = dead company. And of course, just go search up the scandals- need not say more. The list can go on.
