Great People, Great Culture
When we ask AppFolians to explain why they love where they work, we can’t seem to get just one answer. One common theme: great people, great culture. We value diversity in backgrounds and perspectives and depend on it to drive our innovative culture. Don’t just take it from us, hear from AppFolians why they love where they work.
Here at AppFolio, we’re into traditions. We believe that celebrating meaningful moments along the way allows us to take a step back and appreciate all that we’ve accomplished together. Below are just a few of our AppFolio Traditions, you’ll have to join our team to find out the rest!
Oar Signings
Klaus Schauser and Jon Walker started AppFolio in 2006 with a vision to revolutionize the way businesses grow and compete by offering best practices and creating technology designed for specific vertical markets. Our oar-signing tradition began a year later in preparation for the company's inaugural rafting trip, when our first CEO crafted an oar in his garage and the AppFolio team signed it to mark our first anniversary. A tradition was launched. Today, the entire AppFolio team signs oars to commemorate each and every company milestone. These oars represent the hard work and passion of all of our AppFolians over the years, and we look forward to signing many more in the future.
Avocado Takedown
The annual Avocado Takedown is a competitive guacamole-making contest that unites AppFolians across departments and offices to battle for bragging rights for the best guacamole. By allowing AppFolians to unleash their creativity alongside colleagues cross-departmentally, we open up lines of communication, build relationships, and create a sense of community amongst employees -- all while enjoying some delicious guac!
AppFolio T-Shirts
Now we know what you’re thinking: how can “T-shirts” be a tradition? Well, when you join the team you’ll find out! T-shirts are big for us because they symbolize accomplishments, create bonds within teams, and are just really cool! When you walk around AppFolio’s campus you’ll see many team members “repping the brand” and wearing AppFolio T-shirts.
Appiversaries & Shout-Outs
We love celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of our team members! Annually, AppFolians receive congratulations on their “Appiversary”, otherwise known as the anniversary of their start date. Milestone Appiversaries receive recognition at our monthly company meetings from our CEO, at five years you receive the coveted AppFolio 5-year Vest, and at ten years you receive the AppFolio 10-year jacket and the opportunity to take a sabbatical.
To close out our monthly Company Meetings, we announce the Shout-Out award – an award that recognizes game-changing employees at all levels throughout the company. Each winner receives the coveted "Shout-Out" trophy, a reserved parking space, bragging rights for the month, and a place in AppFolio history.
Hack Day
One of AppFolio’s longest-running traditions is our biannual Engineering Hack Day; a two-day “hackathon” used to push the boundaries on innovation. As our VP of Engineering, John Yoder, puts it, “It’s all about getting creative and thinking outside of the box. It’s a time to challenge our team to step out of the normal, day-to-day workflow, and think about ways to solve problems that are much different than what we’ve applied before”.
We believe that when we empower great minds, we embolden our future. Hack Day embodies one of our core values that great, innovative products are key to a great business. Since Hack Day's inception, over 25 new features developed during the events have been integrated into our core products, ultimately allowing our customers to better market, manage and grow their businesses.
It takes an entire team of talented and passionate individuals to revolutionize business. At AppFolio, we blend ambition and curiosity with compassion and hard work to inspire change every day. It's a unique mix of people and ideas that equals our best work in everything we do — from engineering to customer success. It also means that every AppFolian is dedicated to making a difference in our customers' lives and collaborating with co-workers for a positive impact.
We’re always looking for future team members who thrive in a fast-paced, innovative and energetic environment. We're hiring in all offices across the country from our Santa Barbara Headquarters to our Boston office, and we need your help to continue to revolutionize business!

I have been working at AppFolio full-time (More than a year)
Pros
They show they put their employees first with great communication
Cons
Snack options are good but not very diverse
Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at AppFolio (New York, NY).
Interview
Applied online for the available position and the recruiter reached out to get more information about my background and scheduled a technical screening with an engineer.
The technical screening was a really bad experience. The interviewer joined the interview 10 minutes late and started off without even an apology for the delay. Asked a couple of vague questions about web services and then jumped to a coding question via Coderpad. He did not even pay attention to what I was explaining while solving the problem. He gave a different variation of the problem after I solved the first one and sat back on his chair looking at the ceiling while I was solving it.
