Pros

Offices in great cities. Company's future looks good, potential to be GREAT business-wise. Very high skill and personality bar for existing employees and new hires. Fun and surprisingly challenging engineering problems to solve. Hard work. Lots of ways to have fun and blow off steam with coworkers though. No micromanagement in engineering. Customer focused, not process/red tape focused. Can go on and on and on.

Cons

I can no longer work anywhere else for fear that most other companies will really suck in comparison to AppFolio. LOL

Pros

Frequent team outings and social events that help build relationships across the team. Generally a friendly, social environment!

Cons

The property management team is highly competitive when it comes to promotions, and I’ve seen BDRs remain in the same seat for years or eventually leave, as internal advancement opportunities can be limited. However, for top performers, there is promising upside, and you get to work with some of the best leaders in the organization. On the investment management team, leadership quality is more uneven, and there appears to be a lack of management experience, which has created gaps in coaching, accountability, and overall team development. As a result, performance outcomes have lagged, with the majority of BDRs and AEs struggling to consistently hit target. Team turnover has also been notably high, and leadership engagement only increased after a large portion of the team had already decided to leave, which by that point felt too late to rebuild morale or trust.
