This company is notorious among ucsd computer science and computer engineering students. Their turnover rate is extremely high and they recruit ucsd students aggressively, so almost every student has either worked there, interviewed there, or knows someone who has. Ask around and the advice you're most likely to hear is, "don't work there". Two of my good friends worked there briefly, and they both have many negative things to say about it. One friend quit after just 2 or 3 weeks. According to him, management will sometimes cuss out an engineer, which sounds completely ridiculous and unprofessional to anyone who has worked at a real company. The company actually offers competitive salaries, which is probably why they continue to lure employees. However, when you factor in the amount of hours employees are expected to work, the pay is actually quite low.

Fanbox deceives, promises but does not deliver

Fanbox is run by a bunch of crooks. They promised visa processing 9 months ago and after repeated requests they screwed up my application. I have complained to the DOL about this. It is totally my fault. working at McD' or Wal-Mart is better than working here. If you are a new graduate stay away from these guys. If you are foreign national seeking visa do not get cheated by F**box.

Dude, you are lucky. I lost all my hope and career aspirations after joining here. My family is dependent of me and I have lost all interest here. They make me work like hell and keep threatening to off-shore or eliminate my position every other week. Please stay away from this place. You will lose all interest in your career after working here. This company owes me 3 months of salary.
