Current Employee – been working at Responsys

Pros – I'm always asked what I like about Responsys from interview candidates. The people brought me here. The career opportunities are why I've stayed.
The company has been well run since Dan took over in 2003. There has been rapid growth and profitable quarters for several years.

Cons – Slow to adjust to market salaries. Miss-timed the IPO. Stock price has suffered due to global economic indicators not company performance, (that could be a PRO).

Advice to Senior Management – Need a follow up to the email marketing cash cow.
