Pros
Working at Supermicro will teach you several valuable lessons in how to navigate a toxic workplace environment, but it will not be fun. A few people here are kind and approachable, but the majority are not.
Cons
The work culture here is toxic, characterized by fetishization of overwork. There's an alarming glorification of long hours, and people try to stay in the office long and get noticed. If you take a vacation, people will comment on it unfavorably. A blatant discriminatory culture favors certain employees based on language you speak and where you are from, creating a deeply unfair workplace. The less said about the HR department the better as they are completely useless and don't care about the employees. Some people in senior and director roles are so incompetent, it is surprising. If they ever join another company in the same industry like Dell, HPE or Lenovo, they would be laughed off from a mile away. Some employees engage in outright abusive behavior, and the leadership's response is appalling. Especially those that have stayed at the company for long and have good support from management tend to treat everyone else horribly while keeping their leadership and management oblivious to their true character. There's a monopolization of information among teams, which hampers effective collaboration. This lack of transparency breeds an environment of distrust and inefficiency. Multiple teams often duplicate efforts and waste resources. The management including CEO like multiple teams working on the same thing. Maybe they think this is a strategy to ensure success with redundancy but this often leads to infighting and a whole lot of stupidity.
