Pros

I've been with Appfolio for almost 2 years at this point, and I've had the privilege of working in a number of roles across two departments. I started my career here as a Sales Development Rep (Now known as Business Development Rep), and was able to make my way up the ranks to where I was eventually leading the team. The department gave me a great knowledge base of the type of clients we search for and the Real Estate Industry as a whole. I truly felt valued by my team and management, but the job itself was definitely a grind. I think the department is a great place to start a sales career at Appfolio, and I definitely recommend it to any hard working candidates who aren't afraid to keep challenging themselves everyday.

Cons

Space is getting a little crowded, but I know its something our team is working on.

Pros

The people in my team were smart and nice. PTO policy. Snacks.

Cons

They underpay you because of the "nice environment in Santa Barbara"; Engineering leadership which used to care more about employees and code quality only cares about business now; People become super-star not because they write good code but because they deliver code quickly and meet the business goal; They lower the hiring bar to meet "the hiring goal"; Hiring, firing and promotion decisions are made subjectively and can be overwritten easily by higher level leadership;

We take quite a bit of pride in our team and believe that great people make a great company. Our engineering leadership takes this commitment very seriously. It sounds like you didn't find the right fit here with our engineering team, but hopefully you find a better match at your next company.

Pros

Every day I come to work feeling valued and looking forward to new challenges that lie ahead both in the day-to-day of my job, on a greater team level and throughout the entire organization. Decisions that affect us are communicated clearly and there is a level of trust between management and employees that the right choices are being made to keep the business growing sustainably. We are totally in control of our careers and are encouraged to pursue opportunities within our own department as well as beyond. In my time here I have been constantly learning and developing both personally and professionally. If you are willing to work hard and go over and above to not only do your job, but improve on what was done before, then new opportunities will follow. Nearly everyone I have encountered at AppFolio is driven to succeed and is positive about their future here. The company culture is second to none and this is reflected in the hiring process. It seems that a candidate's cultural fit and attitude are just as important as the skills and knowledge they bring to the role.

Cons

Being based in Santa Barbara with its relatively high cost of living means even a reasonable salary doesn't get you as much as you would like.
