Pros

Good thing about being a generalist at BUF is that you have the oportunity to work and learn a lot of diferent things inside the same project. From 3D modeling, texturing, ambient, etc until the end when you can do the final comp for your shots. The projects are very intresting, nevertheless, from time to time there is nothing to do. Or for the contrary there are way too many shots and not enough hands.

Cons

You can see people in general are tired and scared in there. The way they treat artists is not positive. They have to stay late almost every day to finish the shots, it is curious almost all the time there is no overtime aproved but the bad treatment, almost a threat that you must finish no matter what. People is under paid, over worked and underappreciated, worst part, they are scared to say anything about it. Finally the enviroment in there is not good, people never take a break, it is only work and more work. You never get to know people a lot since there is no chance, no extra activities, forget about beer friday or breakfasts or any benefit that other companies have.

Just don't.

Pros

Easy to get hired. Free coffee, free croissants and such on Fridays. Met some nice people there.

Cons

They use their own homemade software that is obsolete and crashes constantly. Some of their senior employees are rude and condescending. Work-life balance is non-existant, so be prepared to stay past the end of your shift every day. OT is paid only when scheduled in advance. Deadlines are ridiculous. People come and go constantly so it's a very unstable place to work at. People either quit or get fired, sometimes for the most ridiculous reasons. Most of their employees are relatively new because of this.

Pros

Flexible schedule and work deadlines.

Cons

Very low salaries, you have the minimun benefits you can get by law. All the overtime goes as bank time. Messy production pipeline.
