Current Employee – been working at AppFolio full-time

ProsGreat company culture. I enjoy going to work everyday. Management has open communication to keep you aware of what direction the company is going in.

ConsI cannot think of any negatives at this time

Advice to Senior ManagementAs you grow make sure to really focus on keeping the same company culture. Don't lose that!

Dallas, TX (US)

Former Employee – worked at AppFolio full-time

ProsFun company events and trips out to Santa Barbara, CA along with an entertaining and lively sales team.

ConsUpper management is largely out of touch with what occurs "in practice" regarding how the product is actually bought and sold by property management companies. Since the departure of the two main sales leaders/managers, it's become nothing but a boiler room and morale has decreased to the point that its hard to come to work.

Advice to Senior ManagementRealize that appfolio property manager is NOT gotomeeting and that proper care and concern need to be taken with each prospect and buyer. The increasing influence of the past Citrix leadership and strategy is slowing growth and decreasing employee morale & job satisfaction.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at AppFolio full-time for more than a year

ProsThe employees are a great bunch, and the culture is an active one. There are lots of sports teams to play on, and monthly company meetings are a lot of fun.

ConsUpward mobility is extremely limited, favoritism runs rampant. The pay... It's bad.

Current Employee – been working at AppFolio full-time

ProsCompany, products, management, culture, and people are great. The people are some of the best I have worked with. The productivity and brain power of their employees is amazing. What the company lacks in pay, it tries to make up for in other ways with fun events, free shirts, feeding you at times and similar such things, which is great but those are the things you need to do if you want to attract and retain great talent.

ConsMuch like a lot of tech companies in the Santa Barbara area, they like to under pay employees. Right now, no bonus program. Raises are anemic. Company holidays are slim. Paid Time Off is average to start, increases to it are non-existant until many years later. The number of stock options they grant are okay. Upward mobility is slim.

Advice to Senior ManagementYour employees are top-notch. To keep top-notch, high performing employees you need to not only do all the things you are doing well but you also need to pay them a fair wage representative of, performance, the cost of living in the area and the industry. AppFolio is great but there is an under-swell of discontent with pay.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
