Pros

1. RSU 2. Free dinner box (but you promise to work over 8 pm)

Cons

1. Pretty bad office politics. Working with each other between the groups, teams or departments just like spy to spy. Your managers, directors input the mindset to you that some people are your enemies and they can set you up anytime. You work 2. Pretty bad work culture#1. Some senior don't like to share experience or knowledge with you, Instead they watch you mess up. Also they push the assignments that they don't like to you, even it is not in the scope of your job responsibilities. 3. Pretty bad work culture#2. Watch out your inventory or stuff when you work in the lab, production, even in your cubicle. Some people just take your stuff without your permission and they don't tell you, until you found out and you are anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. 4. They don't match 401K 5. Only 10 day vacation leave and 5 day sick leave. If you want to apply for over 3 days sick leave in a row you have to show the doctor's note. 6. No Work from Home, you have to work 5 days in the office. However, ironically, some senior has privilege that they can show up very late (noon or even just work from home)

Pros

I have enjoyed working in the Supermicro IT & DataCenter infrastructure group. It's an exciting opportunity to be directly involved in some of the most impactful trends in the industry, including AI infrastructure, liquid cooling, high-density computing, and next-generation data center design. As an IT Director focused on Applications and data center infrastructure, I have been able to work with talented, dedicated engineers and business leaders to meet complex customer requirements. The company moves quickly, embraces innovation, and provides opportunities to make meaningful contributions rather than getting lost in layers of bureaucracy.

Cons

The pace can be demanding, and priorities sometimes shift as the business continues to grow rapidly. There are times when processes, tools, and organizational structures are still catching up to the company's expansion. Success often requires flexibility, a willingness to take ownership, and the ability to navigate ambiguity. Employees who prefer highly structured environments and clearly defined boundaries may find the pace challenging.
