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. :/
