      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AppFolio (Santa Barbara, CA) in Aug 2021

      Interview

      The process was clear and well-structured from start to finish. First, I had a brief screening call with my recruiter where we discussed my background and the role. Then, I spoke with the hiring managers, who asked detailed questions about how I handle customer relationships, prioritize tasks, and manage challenging situations. I appreciated the scenario-based questions, like how I’d onboard a new client or address customer concerns. The final interview was a chat with members of the CSM team, where we talked more about team collaboration and company culture. Overall, the interview was engaging, gave me a chance to showcase my skills, and gave me insight into the company’s values and work environment.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at AppFolio

      Interview

      The interview process was very thorough, collaborative, and well organized from start to finish. The process included an initial recruiter conversation followed by multiple rounds with Customer Success leadership and cross functional team members. Each conversation focused on different areas including customer strategy, retention, leadership, adaptability, collaboration, and alignment with AppFolio’s core values. What stood out most was how conversational and team oriented the interviews felt. Rather than feeling overly scripted, each interviewer took time to understand both my experience and how I approach Customer Success strategically. There was a strong emphasis on ownership, customer obsession, collaboration, and continuous improvement throughout the process. Communication from the recruiting team was excellent. Marly and the team were transparent, responsive, and proactive with updates during every stage. The process moved thoughtfully and it was clear the team cared deeply about finding the right long term fit both professionally and culturally. The final stage included a conversation with senior leadership focused on leadership mindset, autonomy, process improvement, and how to elevate the Customer Success organization. Overall, it was one of the most professional and positive interview experiences I’ve had.
