Hear what our consultants have to say about us…

Sriram Rengasamy

Sr .NET Engineer

I am very fortunate that I got an opportunity with Buxton as my vendor. Their team is very professional, transparent and helpful. Anytime I reached out to them I got an immediate response. Unlike other vendors, Buxton treats consultants very fairly and respectfully so that we love to be associated with Buxton for a long time. Reaching out to consultants on a periodic basis and hearing out our problems/suggestions made us feel good. During my tenure at SCIF, I heard people saying that we should refer our friends to join Buxton as they are the BEST among all the vendors in SCIF and they do not try to exploit consultants, as Buxton is very fair in their compensation for the consultants.
