Pros

They will hire anyone. I had only phone interviews. They only good thing I can say is that they paid on time, but delayed the max possible time and then shamed people for needing an advance on their first paycheck because it takes a month to get paid. They prefer hiring veterans, which is a good thing.

Cons

This is a straight up body shop. They lowball contract rates to win work and then reduce pay. They let customers treat their people badly. They expect you to be 100% billable and the customer requires onsite for all billable hours. I have worked at many services companies and this was by far the worst. Vacation was absolutely minimal, 2 weeks with no sick time and they did not provide the usual holidays, you had to make up your time at the client site when they were closed for a holiday.

Pros

It’s a company where you can build a long-term career because the management is supportive and competent. They care for your professional growth and where you want to go. The job is tough but if you are someone with a “can do” mindset, everything should be just fine. Hard work is recognized. The pay is competitive.

Cons

If you want to grow, you should be open to cooperation and new knowledge.

Pros

Came from a big integrator where you were a name (actually the same customer as buffalo group, but different contract). Like any company, I heard some good and bad about buffalo but decided to check them out based on some associates who really loved the company. So far I love it - doing some cutting edge work and from leadership on down, they are really invested in supporting their customer and projects. The biggie I came from cared about change orders, getting more $$ on contract, not working with other vendors to advance the mission....all probably tied to getting their stock higher. Buffalo is a family like atmosphere with very approachable managers - heck, i even had a 20 min conversation with the CEO. Everyone I spoke with was very forthcoming with the challenges they've faced, the success they've had, and the way ahead. Some of the things they have done, go way above and beyond what I've seen in other companies.

Cons

Diversify your customer base and continue to add new IT programs so developers can move around and advance their skills. Communication with employees has been great, but would love to has some all-hands on deck meetings, especially as we are a smaller company. All the other companies I've worked for splash their twitter feeds, facebook, and websites with their charitable work and good stuff they are doing, yet buffalo is doing and has done some amazing things for their employees but doesn't let anyone know about it. I was shocked at some of the goodness. Get it our there!
