Quality Systems Specialist Interview Experience

July 26, 2025

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Typical technical questions by a panel of employees. I wasn't given prior notice of who I would be speaking with, even though I asked for that information. The interviewers seemed nice, but stiff and tired.

Questions

Technical questions, of course, related to the job description regarding my work background.

Supermicro Work Experiences

Toxic Culture Work

Engineer • Former Employee

September 5, 2025

Pros: Benefits are good. Self-learning and building my own experience.

Cons: Racist toward people that do not speak Mandarin. If you get connection with some of upper management's family, you are treated like a royal member. Even if you don't have an engineering degree, you can get the title of engineer. You can come to work late and you can go home early. You don't need to work OT like others. The director always comes and checks up on you. You also are included in any special email with only the manager. Because you can understand Mandarin, you get trained very well compared to others. Even your manager couldn't speak up for you. Give 2 stars because of my manager who was very nice and professional.

Pros: None. I can’t think of any tbh

Cons: Toxic management team. They yell at you anywhere, and take away your lunch time, night time, and weekends to work. If you don’t, you are underperforming.
