Buffalo Technology Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Buffalo Technology as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – My coworkers were generous and helpful.

Cons – Compared to other tech companies I've worked at, there is much less QA at Buffalo. That means that many more defective products get to customers. The company is run as a Japanese company (of course, because it is), but Americans who work here will have to learn the ropes, It seems like a small thing, but the desk chairs were terrible. People were buying their own chairs and bringing them in. A company that won't buy chairs?

Advice to Senior Management – Work on your US to Japan document sharing and streamline your processes.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Buffalo Technology full-time for more than a year

Pros – New mgmt, fast growth trajectory, family atmosphere. Huge addressable market, large international business with good financial fundamentals.

Cons – Lots of change. If you are not a self starter or can work at a rapid pace of change, Buffalo is not the place for you.

Sometimes things get lost in translation.

Advice to Senior Management – Do more of what you are doing, faster!
