New York, NY

Current Employee – been working at Responsys full-time for less than a year

ProsI have been with Responsys for 3 weeks now and I am very happy. Both my manager and my director were in constant contact with me even before I even started my position. This was nice and helped me feel comfortable coming in on my first day. My manager and team has been very attentive and answered all my questions about the material. I am very excited to continue to pursue my career here at Responsys.

ConsI think that the on boarding handbook could use some fine tuning but aside from that I thought the on boarding has been great
