Pros

Awesome culture, youthful, work hard play hard, lacks many corporate pretenses, understanding and engaged direct management, SMART employees, extremely successful company.

Cons

I can only speak to one department but: Zero raises period, it is just not part of the culture here. Many have stated that If you ask you are likely to be lectured or scolded for even asking, despite being qualified. They generally take advantage of the fact that many in the organization are young and inexperience regardless of how well they preform or how competent they are. Many have questioned the fairness of promotion/hire practices (management is overwhelmingly one gender). Direct managers often make up for these shortcomings by being fantastic to work with.

Pros

I like the people I work with. Good work/life balance. People are mostly nice. They've been able to hire smart and good natured people. They want to continue hiring smart and good natured people. Snacks. Occasional breakfast and lunch. Occasional team outings. Occasional fun events. PTO is alright. Just started 401k matching. Good development processes. High quality employees, making great impact to the company. If you're just starting your career, it's a great place. If you're just leaving a completely crappy employer, this is a great place.

Cons

Environment is for extroverts, introverts beware. They are hiring fast and cramming people in. Zero personal space. Lot's of noise. Office temperature is Cold then Hot. Not very conducive for creative people or focused time. Long waits for the disgusting bathroom are common. They hire a lot of people fresh out of college, so if you have any experience be prepared to be pushed to mentor. They should provide some incentive for it. Couple times a year, employees are pressured into delivering a work related project in 24 hrs, in exchange for food, beer and shirts/sweaters. The pay and benefits are mediocre, compared to the quality, quantity, responsibility and impact of work. Raises are on the weak side. No profit sharing at this time. Number of Options granted at a time is now low and doesn't off set the low end of pay. Seems like the company is deliberately leveraging work relationships and atmosphere in order to pay on the lower end.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience at AppFolio. We definitely hear you on the space - we're growing quickly and working hard to make enough room for everyone! The good news is we just moved our yoga /exercise room and now have more room to spread out while we continue to work on our longer term space plans. We do value the atmosphere of mentoring and innovation with our 24- hour hack days -- if you have ideas to improve how we run these programs please share them with your manager so we can continue to make them even better.

Pros

The company overall is great to their employees. Great benefits, good culture.

Cons

Certain managers pick favorites and if you’re not one of them, you get treated horribly. They don’t even try to give you feedback, they just bring you down so much that you want to quit. Certain senior managers need to realize how they manage their team isn’t acceptable and that’s the real reason employees don’t see growth under her.
