Pros

Absolutely none. This place is a dumpster fire that just pours gasoline on itself. If you want experience on how to not run a Services organization, then this is the place.

Cons

Culture - backstabbing ladder climbers. People skills - non existent. Most people hate it here and are just looking for a paycheck, and they have no say in how things are run and are not empowered to make any changes. The iron grip by the aging Executive level means nothing changes - everything that was built badly 10 years ago is still in place. The culture is one where they believe you can simply fix a problem by throwing cheap labor at it instead of investing. If you are not from the Asian culture, you will go nowhere. Minimum vacation time, and good luck using any PTO. Expected to work long hours because they can't get enough staff. The CEO hasn't got a clue on how to run a company of this size. The sales teams don't work at all with the Services org. The engineering department is staffed by a few good people, but even they can't support what they build. Education and training is terrible. Pay is below what it should be by about 25%.

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.
