Pros

It tries to keep every one happy by snacks and t-shirts.

Cons

Old technologies, not good for personal development. Slow growth. It took 7 years to be barly profitable. Poor health insurance, no 401k, no bonus. Workplace politics. Talented engineers are not really promoted to important postions. The managers are not good at techniques and do not really pay attention to the growth of the teams. But they are really good at keep their postions in the company.

Pros

Great employees, great educational / flexible atmosphere, competitive salary.

Cons

It has grown very quickly - so everything that goes along with that . . . (more politics, more separation from execs to the rest of the group, slowed growth within some departments) No 401K match

Pros

I worked with many wonderful and intelligent people at AppFolio. AppFolio Property Manager is a good product that many customers genuinely love. Santa Barbara is a beautiful, if expensive, place to live. They offer decent benefits to salaried employees. Free snacks. Fitness classes several times a week.

Cons

Low pay. Anemic raises. Little to no opportunity for advancement. An unequal culture. There is much lip service paid to company values that are not exercised. Rampant cronyism in the middle tier of the company, at the expense of promoting from within. Incompetent and under qualified middle management. Disconnect between upper and middle management. AppFolio is trying very hard to become profitable before a future IPO, putting a huge strain on sales and customer support as more poor fit customers are brought on. Scaling up is proving to be AppFolio's largest problem.
