Wow. I never knew such scum existed in this world existed until I worked for Michael Pousti. The whole operation just oozes with slime. Within a week of starting there in early 2005, I learned that Michael (MP) had banged about four chicks on the "management team." Brandy, the "VP of operations," was this trashy eating-disordered chick who did nothing but shop and drink coffee at her desk. And MP wanted us a ll to believe she was this amazing wunderkind. It was so strange. Most of the people who work there are not necessarily dumb, per se, but they definitely have low self-esteem.
Once I realized this place was a front-- I had a little fun before my resignation... I slept with another dude who worked there on MP's desk... And in both the bathrooms.

The only good part about this job is the location. San Diego is an amazing city and SMS.AC is right in downtown. Great especially after work.
The management is absolutely horrible. If you ever want to learn how not to treat employees, try working here for a little.

I worked at SMS.ac for a whole year and went through many rounds of layoffs. The company philosophy is to prune branches that aren't producing excellence. That being said if you can stay around after seeing all the desks around you clear out, you should be pretty confident in your skillz. I took the job thinking it could be the next Google, but instead it was a great resume booster. Believe me if you can say that you've worked a year at SMS.ac/Fanbox you can get a job anywhere in SD. I'm not saying that the job was great and I didn't feel like quitting every week. However, free food and beer (on Fridays and weekends), cool people, and awesome experience made up for it in the end. Also, that feeling you get when you put in your resignation and walk out the back door is truly euphoric, only those who have experienced it know what I mean.

I worked at this place for 4 days and 2hrs. That is right, I had to give up a good opportunity in Houston because my consulting company wanted to work here. If you are consultant you work in a basement. I was told by my fellow consultants that it is hard to survive 3 months in this place. On the 5th day there was a massive lay-off of the consultants (at the same time they were having all kinds of Open houses for new kids to join the company). Stay away from this place for all good reasons. You dont have to work insane hours and be abused to become good in the craft, you have to join the right company whose business model is fair and innovative at the same time you are treated with dignity.

Get out of there while you can! I did and what a relief it is. They work you like a slave and treat you like crap. Don't subject yourself to those lowlifes. This is probably the worst job I've ever taken. Consider yourself warned.
