Pros

Relatively new department at SMCI. The team is comprised of young-middle aged, diverse backgrounds, and a supportive supervisor and manager. Health benefits are practically covered 100% by the company.

Cons

Outside of the team, the cons are like most on this platform: low pay even with high experience, and bonuses that are the same for everyone with the same role and seniority. Compensation is NOT based on performance.

Advice to Management

Change the financial compensation and the young-middle aged employees will be more willing to stay. Without this, employees on the younger side who are gaining all this knowledge will leave the moment any other company offers a six-figure starting salary.
