Was sold on looks and lifestyle. Not the case.

Pros

- Good people, most are in the same age group in CS (a mix of older/younger on the Sales side.) - Plenty of snacks, drinks and lunches. - Gives you an entry-level look into the software world.

Cons

- Compensation/benefits were right at/slightly below industry average. - Be prepared to hit the ground running. If you fall behind your group, there seems to be little support. - Company is understaffed and overworked. Which leads to many issues. - Managers are given either too much responsibility, promoted too quickly or are just ill-equipped to be actual managers. - If you don't enjoy micromanagement on a daily basis, you won't enjoy this job.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. You're right - our employees are super important! We do have a fast pace here and high expectations and it can definitely be challenging right out of college. We hope you find the right fit in your next position.

Pros

AppFolio is a fantastic place to start your career. The training is top-notch, the people are great, the product is amazing, and the management is appreciative. The company is wildly successful and is growing by leaps and bounds every quarter. Having joined AppFolio only 10 months ago, I'm pleased to have been promoted TWICE in that timeframe. Considering this is my first job out of college, I could not be happier with my decision to join this team. The SDR role itself is a fantastic introduction into the fast paced sales of a tech company. The training you will receive will be superlative to the industry. You will not learn how to be a telemarketer; you will learn how to be a consultant, and a good one at that. Expect the same training that you'd receive at tech giant in Silicon Valley but with more personalized attention. Training is also ongoing as we meet multiple times a week to sharpen our sales acumen. In terms of culture, AppFolio is full on fun, energetic people that give this company such a unique vibe. Expect lots of catered lunches, retail gift cards, ping pong tournaments, and enough AppFolio t-shirts to fill your entire wardrobe. There are a ton of dogs at the office, too. So yea, it's a pretty sweet place to work.

Cons

AppFolio's startup era has long passed. The company has grown into it's corporate shoes and as a result, job responsibilities and protocols are very structured.

Pros

They foster a culture of employee appreciation and respect. I left the company due to relocation, and I've since then compared every company to them (and none have yet surpassed or really even come close). There are companies that say they are like AppFolio, with the perks and great environment and transparency, but AppFolio is everything it says it is. I know I will have a hard time finding a company with as much heart as they do business sense, but its reassuring to know that they are out there.

Cons

My only con was the distance I had to drive. I lived in the city and the office is about 15 miles outside the city. That's not their fault- I just wished the commute was shorter.
