Prós
- You won't be micromanaged and there is a great deal of freedom assuming that you get your work done in a timely fashion. - Non-formal and fun work environment - Project oriented with very little end-user support. If you're basing your opinion of this place on the other reviews from Technical Support representatives, don't. - Great place to learn valuable skills (you will work with a bunch of industry-standard open source software such as openldap, freeradius, bacula, postfix, postgres, etc.). While I ultimately moved away from Buffalo for personal reasons, this job has done wonders for my resume.
Contras
- Benefits are not paid 100% - On call rotation (If you're a sysadmin, you know that this is a necessary evil almost anywhere you go) - Upper management can be stubborn and set in their ways
