Pros

Free breakfast. LOL it is the only thing IMO.

Cons

Long working hours. Must stay overtime to be a "good employee" which is a typical Chinese company culture. No fair discussion because of retaliation from upper level. Team leader has no idea how to retain talent. Lots of team member quitted cuz the leader can't be objective. Asked me to leave cuz he can't satisfy what I need but no positive support while I was considering a new job. Real experience, this was why I quitted without doubt. Never try to help the employees but kept pushing the work progress. Never ask employees feedback, depressing team atmosphere. No team oriented, everyone just working on their own and waiting to leave.

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.
