Pros
Typical Chinese (Taiwanese) company Med/dental/vision/401k Free breakfast daily, free fruit mid-week Free lunch buffet Saturday (only if you OT on Saturday of course) Free dinner box (but only if you stay till 8 PM.) If you are a Chinese who needs an H1B visa, please try Super Micro. Job secures which they barely fire people. (That is why hardly can motivate people and there is not reward system) There are a lot of opportunities for professional growth in SuperMicro which because people in SuperMicro just way too outstanding that they are not quite sure what they are doing actually. (Either work long enough to earn the all benefit already and just waiting for retirement or no professional skill at all and just try to fool around) If you want to work in a quiet environment, please join SuperMicro that there is no information sharing at all. There are no communications between departments but rather pointing fingers. (Management people not even want to sharing information to the team which he is afraid to lost their superiority) If you love to show off and exciting meeting as always, SuperMicro is a good stage for you. There is not respect but only yelling, point finger. After meeting that you may lose your direction and feel frustrates but without any solution.
Cons
You can not find any leadership that most of leaders are without management skill and without directions. They work as management is because they work for SuperMicro long enough even thou their minds are not clear. There are not many promotions. Even thou there is but will not be base on your performance but how much your leader likes you or how hard you kissing ass. (Management positions are holding by most of people that waiting for retirement; you will not have chance before their retirement. Let’s say 5-10 years.) Long hours, not required but it is expected. (not sure if there are so busy like this but they just want you to show up)
