Inconvénients

Hmm...where to even begin? I'll list out some (with elaborations on each) and see how many you can count. - Low starting pay compared to market rate. Sure, there is 3-5% raise per year depending on performance, but eventually stops once company feels you are making enough - Almost zero opportunity for promotion. Only HR decides if you are worthy of a promotion, so don't bother penning a formal letter that argues for one - No 401k match. Enough said. - Outdated paperwork process. One must physically carry the documents, walk all over the campus and locate every key employee (at least 10), and get them to physically sign off the document, before going to the CEO himself for final approval. Furthermore, one must hope that the CEO is actually available at his office, or else you will have to wait outside of his office for only God knows how long. -Annual physical inventory count system is extremely disorganized. Current system needs vast improvement to make it easier to track all physical inventory. Some people had terrific ideas to make it better, but their proposals were rejected for financial reasons. That should tell you that this is company does NOT have an innovative culture. -One team member from each department is asked to perform internal auditing of other departments quarterly. Why are engineers asked to snitch on fellow engineers for minor violations? That's the actual auditors job! -As other reviews have mentioned, if you don't speak Chinese, you will feel left out. -Company culture will make you feel you have to work long hours and on Saturdays sometimes, or be frowned upon (at least they won't fire you for it) -If a colleague leaves the company, you are asked to take on extra work with no pay raise. -You are on probation for the first 90 days. That means, no PTO accrued and no benefit until then. I understand that this is perfectly within the law, but I dare you to name any other public company that still follows this practice.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
