Pros

- Fellow coworkers are easy going and friendly - Company events - Senior Leadership - The product - Company Growth This is definitely a company where hard work, dedication and a willingness to learn & help your peers pays off. Do not expect to have a promotion or a title change handed to you, it is certainly earned through showing your merit. This is truly a great place where you can begin your career out of college or if you are switching industries. I've had the pleasure of seeing the company grow tremendously in the 3+ years that I've been here and I do not see a ceiling at all. The sky truly is the limit here.

Cons

The only con that I had (compensation & benefits) has been addressed and continues to be as we grow.

This is one of my very favorite comments 'The sky truly is the limit here' - it sounds like in your 3+ years with AppFolio you've really made the most of the opportunity. This is the key to having a great career (anywhere...!) but especially here at AppFolio.

Pros

A great place to start a career. There is a lot to learn in the SDR position and they provide a ton of support for their employees. I was only there for 4 months before being recruited for another opportunity, but I really enjoyed my time there. The SDR team in Dallas is special and all of the interactions I had with leadership throughout the company was very positive. You learn a lot about being an effective communicator and they give you plenty of freedom every day. Very little micro management but a lot of support. From my experience, they seem to have it all figured out pretty well and the future outlook of the company is incredible. And the fully stocked kitchen and ping pong table is really nice. It took a pretty incredible opportunity elsewhere for me to leave.

Cons

It's hard to think of any cons. I never dreaded going into work and they were very upfront and honest with me about performance expectations and advancement opportunities. The SDR position is a grind and isn't the most enjoyable, but you do get a lot out of it and they don't make it hard on you.

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.
