Firstly, James Martinez was awesome in coordinating my interviews and communicated well. My interview experience with AppFolio was quite drawn out, taking nearly three weeks for a total of just 15 minutes on a phone call, followed by a 30-minute call with one person and a 1 hour call with three different people. The final recruiter seemed unprepared, looking through questions to ask rather than engaging in a meaningful conversation, despite my own thorough preparedness. The questions were repetitive and phrased in a clichéd way. The company’s website emphasizes its culture of inclusivity, diversity, growth, complex problem-solving, collaboration, and positivity—qualities which highlight some of the qualities believe I embody. I shared my excitement about the opportunity with my family, but during the final interview, I didn't feel those values were reflected. Despite my extensive experience, I’m unsure what the team was specifically looking for that would have allowed me to effectively showcase my transferable skills. 2 days after the final interview, I received what seemed like an exciting call asking for my thoughts, but it ended in rejection. I felt disheartened, and I’m sure that was evident in my voice. I would have much rather gotten an email. Ultimately, AppFolio wasn’t the right fit for me. I’m grateful for the interview experience as it has helped me focus on the direction I want to pursue moving forward.
