I used to work there, circa 1999. It was a train-wreck (Austin-Hayne merged with SuccessFactors, and we lost most of the SF-side engineers). Lots of horrible, Enterprisey Java code, and a bunch of inherited Visual Basic.
I guess they got things under control. Good for them.
I'd invested about $1000 in stock before I left; I called 'em up a few years ago (after finding out they were still around) and found out they'd done some kind of restructuring that blew my shares into oblivion somehow. Easy come, easy go.
So it's not that you lost $1000 of SuccessFactors shares, right? It's something you had invested in some other company which was bought by SuccessFactors later, and during this conversion period existing shares were restructured, or something along with these lines.
Well, something like that -- I wrote a check for SuccessFactors shares. I have a letter to this effect in my files.
Later, some mumbo-jumbo happened that "extinguished" the value of these shares. I'm guessing this was some kind of IP transfer, whereupon the "old SuccessFactors" went out of business, and the "new SuccessFactors" -- different company, same name -- arose.
Given how "old SuccessFactors" was being run, it doesn't surprise me.
