Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are growing quickly and always looking to find ways to better prepare people as they progress to new opportunities in AppFolio -- it's always such a tough balance between the step up into a new role and being fully ready to do it! It's a great reminder that we can always continue to improve our training and prep work as we promote team members.

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

Outstanding office culture Charismatic CEO Close-knit teams Collaboration Smart leadership in each department Simplicity at the core of the business Challenging work Ability to innovate within your role/department Well designed processes Genuine customer focus Work-life balance Open communication about company goals, initiatives, performance, and future Innovative software that truly changes the lives of its users

Cons

Not being able to roll out all the features our clients request. AppFolio has a very active user base and they come up with a ton of excellent ideas. Creating a robust solution happens quickly but still does not seem to fully sate our client's hunger for product enhancements.
