ok whatever, I don't give a damn. I interviewed with them and didn't accept their shitty offer. I got a free trip to san diego out of it, and all I had to do was debug their crappy code. I don't see what the big deal is. I can agree that If this company tells you they want to interview you, but you have to pay for travel expenses, you'd have to be crazy to go out there. unless you just really love california....

RE: Fanbox omg
nice... trolling a fanbox thread... listen, there is nothing wrong with interviewing with ANY company that is willing to fly you out to San Diego and pay for everything. the key is, when you get there, realizing that the pile of dog shit that they call code is exactly that... dog shit. if you can't do that, then may God have mercy on your soul.
anyway, the only people here without a life are the ones that troll TDWTF Forums.

I'm kind of worried. We have no physical proof (e-mail) that they will cover costs.
I had my plane and hotel fully paid for... I'm trying to get the 200 dollar stipend that they promised myself and 3 friends that interviewed with them. I know I should have asked for a copy of the paper they had me sign, but I definitely have proof that FanBox flew me out there... just no proof that they promised me 200 dollars for doing their Fanbox Challenge. I hope that they don't try to sink as low as denying everything, because I guess some people on here received their stipends.
Any suggestions on how to move forward on this? They didn't respond to my e-mail today... they have 2 more days.

RE: Fanbox omg
It's been two weeks since I initially contacted them about giving me my stipend money, and so far all they've told me is that they've "forwarded it to their financial department". I just sent them an e-mail today saying that if I don't hear anything back before Friday, I will contact the CA Labor Board.
Let's see what happens.

RE: Fanbox omg
I think without a doubt that the most retarded thing I saw there was the fact that every single one of their components was contained within its own solution, and their code base is huge. So, you had to navigate their code via the file system, opening up 20 different VS solutions to find what you were looking for.
Honestly... I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

protip: threaten to contact the CA labor board if they don't mail you your stipend within 1 month
haha that's freaking hilarious! I pretty much gave up any hope of ever seeing that stipend check.

Ha! I went there a few weeks ago for the same thing. It would take a few months of TDWTF posts just to scratch the surface of the horrors at that place.
LOL remember this?

RE: Fanbox omg
haha, I was also there a few weeks ago. What a joke. It was well worth a free trip to san diego, though.
they told us that no one had ever gotten more than 15 bugs. Myself and my friend both got over 20. It really was not hard, it just hurt my head looking through all that retarded code.
What a shitty job... all everyone there cares about is getting rich off of their company stock. Too bad they hate their developers.
