      Best for learning, worst for family life

      Pros

      As a Generalist, you can do any kind of work on a shot. If you're skilled enough, your supervisor will give you shots to do from layout to final compositing. Pipeline, one of the best.

      Cons

      Expecrienced workers salaries. Projects less and less interessant. Managers.. In-house softwares not really up-to-date with new technologies (but not as bad as often said in the industry)

      Pros

      Interesting projects from time to time, although it's a big struggle for a company to get a project nowadays.

      Cons

      I have no words to describe all the horrible things I've seen in this company. People are underpaid, overworked and underappreciated to the extent of being called names like 'stupid' or 'idiotic' by the company owner himself on a daily basis. People work there in fear because they are treated extremely badly. This company is a horror film. Also, the hardware and software are so outdated it is a real challenge for daily work. Working conditions were a disaster, filthy equipment, filthy bathrooms and almost no heating in the winter. The boss is a monster.

      You learn a lot but is not a good place

      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.
