Pros

As a UX Designer, I am embedded on engineering teams and partnered with product managers to develop features that are both viable for the business and actually solve customer needs. We are encouraged to visit customers and do plenty of discovery and usability testing to help determine what we build. It's a UX Designer's dream. AppFolio is growing in a solid and strategic manner, and because of this there will continue to be plenty of room to grow my career here. Plus we hire really great people in all of our departments, so it truly is a pleasure to work here.

Cons

Santa Barbara is a fairly small town and expensive to live in.

Pros

I'm usually skeptical of overly optimistic reviews, so please feel free to take my review with a grain of salt (I'm also 5 weeks into my tenure) and review the organization on your own experience and criteria. Here's the criteria for which I set my review: integrity (5), professional development (5), leadership opportunities (5), and quality of work and teams (5). If you are looking for a place where your individual and team contributions are leveraged to create a better world, for which I was looking, this is likely an organization where you will stretch your wings and soar.

Cons

It's a very decentalized organization which is great for autonomy and agility, so there is no formal onboarding. Please expect to be a bit your own in the beginning and drive your learning.

Thank you for the thoughtful review and for taking the time to share your early feedback. I really like the criteria you use in thinking about what makes AppFolio a great place for you to work. We are continuing to work on the onboarding experience for new employees and I'll share your feedback with the team.

Pros

The product is really amazing and useful. I would say it is the best in the industry. The long term overview for the company looks to be very good. The culture is amazing, and you feel like you are friends with everybody.

Cons

Promotion is seniority based and not merit based. Turnover is extremely high.

Sorry to hear you didn't see the career growth you were hoping for. We truly do believe in merit-based promotions and have quite a bit of transparency around what it takes to be promoted, especially in the Customer Success team.
