Pros

Free pastries in the morning. A few normal people that make working there slightly more pleasant.

Cons

The manager on the team I was on has literally never had management training in the 8 years he has worked there, and HR confirmed this to me multiple times. He is demeaning and expects unquestioning subservience. He will talk down to you, get annoyed when you ask questions related to the work, and blame you for not understanding immediately. He will ignore your multiple wins in the workplace, find the one mistake you made, then use it to set you up to fail. I asked for help multiple times and was ignored or talked down to. I am not the only one to leave this team in the past year. They can’t get people to stay on the team, and I’m telling you that this manager is the reason why. He has at least one HR complaint against him, and now a retaliation complaint with the state. $90k salary, onsite every day from 9-6, no exceptions, and now this? Nope, couldn’t be me.

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.
