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

AppFolio has been heading in the right direction from a company management perspective and they do a good job of giving their employees a good work/life balance.

Cons

The pay has been pretty stagnant for the last ~3 years. I recognize this is by design and it has allowed AppFolio to avoid to do more than just the 1 set of layoffs in difficult economic times but still this hurts for someone trying to raise a family.

Thanks for the honest feedback - we appreciate it. Good to hear the work/life balance and leadership direction have resonated. We work hard to get those right. On compensation, we're committed to building a high-performance culture where strong results are recognized through growth opportunities and total rewards that reflect what people bring to the table. We continuously evaluate our programs to make sure they're doing that. Your perspective is noted and appreciated.
