Pros

I have worked at AppFolio for 4 years in virtually every position in the sales organization including Sales Development Representative, Inside Sales, Sales Ops, and Account Executive. Below are my thoughts: First, the leadership at AppFolio is second to none. They have worked hard to create a culture of tribal knowledge and support that persists even after significant growth. You can genuinely walk up to anyone on the Sales floor to ask for help and they will put down whatever they are working on to make time for you. It's a privilege to work for a company where "winning" means that you win together, and your manager is looking out for your professional AND personal success. No where else will you find so many tools readily available including great sales training, 1 on 1 mentorship, extensive industry exposure, and a group of people at all levels who all want you to be successful. Second, it's awesome to do sales at a company where we genuinely have the BEST product for our customers. This means one can be absolutely confident when talking to prospects, and every department works together to proliferate an organization centered on great software that truly changes the lives of our customers. The best part? AppFolio is continuing to surge farther and farther ahead of the competition. Lastly, career growth at AppFolio is extensive and thoughtful. This means that the most senior people don't always get the first promotions. Instead, management develops each person based on his or her personal strengths and career goals while also following what will be best for the company. Career options are abundant with clear guidelines on what is expected of an employee to get a promotion or make a transition between departments. Overall, AppFolio is an excellent choice for the individual who is interested in starting his/her sales career or already has 10 years of experience and is looking for a company to call home.

Cons

Don't expect to work at AppFolio and be immediately successful just because you did great at your previous sales job. It is important to work hard and put in your time to learn the product and the industry. The company doesn't pay as generously as similar positions, but the culture and organization more than makes up for it.

Best headline yet....although Super sizing a meal might not always be your best choice for long term health :) 4 years in every position on our sales team gives you such valuable perspective and I'm so glad you took the time to share it for others to read. Your advice to keep communications lines clear and accessible is great - thank you for appreciating the energy and investment the leadership team puts into the program and every individual on the sales team. Making AppFolio a great place to come to work every day and grow your career is so important to us, so thank you for maximizing your opportunity and making such a difference in our business.

Pros

AppFolio has an amazing culture with a collaborative team across the board. From the top down there's great support to ensure you're successful as an employee. I've never worked for a company that is so aligned on goals - and one that works hard to ensure we realign with any changes. There's a nice balance of fun and hard work and it's great to be a part of a team that focuses on both equally. Other pros: - benefits are great - we give back to the community and AppFolio provides employees with volunteer opportunities often - discounts on fitness clubs - free fitness classes every day on-site - they truly care about you as an employee and listen to your feedback on ways to improve

Cons

Would love more ongoing career development opportunities.

Being aligned on goals is one of our top priorities - thank you for appreciating it! It is great to hear that you are looking for more ongoing career development opportunities with us. My advice is to reach out to senior leaders on different teams and invite them to coffee - learn about the different departments and their business needs and you will find even more opportunities for growth!

Pros

Where to begin? Let's be real - company dynamics are like family dynamics; the quirks and annoyances exist no matter what. That's what happens when humans are close and spend a ton of time together! That said, AppFolio is honestly the healthiest, happiest, most transparent culture (family) I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Never have I experienced a company where doing what we say and saying what we do are so closely aligned. Our values? They are real and alive - both externally and internally - not just some superfluous words on a poster or a meaningless recruiting tactic. Leadership at every level operates with integrity, ownership and without ego. Our business model is sound, smart and agile. Stuff gets done. Decisions are made quickly but intelligently. Autonomy reigns. Balancing work and life is encouraged and modeled. Internal growth and movement is off the charts! Snacks galore, an ice machine (whoop!), fun events that bring people together and an endless desire to always raise the bar. I could go on and on and on....

Cons

Sometimes the coffee/espresso machine breaks and we have to walk downstairs or to another building for our Handlebar fix. The ginormous variety of food (tons of healthy stuff too; organic everything) makes the 3pm afternoon crash snack fest hard to resist. :/
