Pros

-Jamf has excellent healthcare at an affordable + competitive price. -Work/life balance is great for most roles. -Growing and secure company. -Major points to bringing on the new CIO who is needed for the next chapter of growth. -Excellent offering of hardware to all levels.

Cons

-No unlimited PTO -Growing pains are incredibly difficult for now and the foreseeable future. -In many ways, Jamf has not matured and acts like they are a company of 500 people in Eau Claire. The Midwest mentality running through the veins of this company will eventually destroy it. -Individuals promoted to management after tenure and not talent or results. -Lots of times you have the “opportunity” to do more than one job until you force leadership to build positions to help scale or cover up gaping holes that have existed for a long period of time. -Pizza parties in lieu of actual investment in employees. Now for the real pain: -Jamf has failed to address the biggest elephant in the room: horrible pay compared to nearly every other software company (small, medium, large, enterprise). -For many sales roles, Jamf is usually 30-60% lower for similar titles in every market in the US. -While many companies have pivoted to offering remote employees California-like salaries regardless of location, Jamf pays like people are buying a house on the outskirts of Eau Claire. It’s not sustainable. -Subpar RSU offerings below middle management. -No company percentage bonus for individual contributors. During my two weeks notice, Jamf failed to offer any sort of counter to the competing offers I had. It was literally not mentioned by anyone. Nobody did anything to get me to stay. At all. There is simply no process to retain highly talented and highly technical people. This will continue to bleed them dry until pay is addressed.

Jamf is committed to taking care of our team members, and part of that promise is ensuring all Jamfs are fairly and equitably paid. We know that the compensation landscape globally has shifted for a number of reasons, and Jamf has a number of efforts underway to be able to retain our current talent and continue to recruit top talent that wants to make an impact on the world. Jamf also takes a ‘whole employee experience’ view of compensation, and strives to make investments not only in cash and salary related items, but also other services to ensure the wellbeing (financial, physical, and emotional) of our teams. Just within the 2021 alone, Jamf has rolled out an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), provided ownership to our employees in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), expanded on our paid parental leaves in the US and added family planning benefit services like IVF and egg freezing, provided for an additional 3 paid holidays for the end of 2021… and we are not done yet. We continue to review all of our total rewards and make investments to support our employees. Employee retention is a top priority at Jamf in order to continue our more than 90% retention rate and ensure Jamf is a great place to work for all.

Pros

Benefits are pretty much the only positive at this point. Working hybrid is nice, but pales when we used to be fully remote with no issues.

Cons

The senior managers of Technical Support are driving this org into the ground. Employees are no longer a human, no longer an employee; we are now just numbers. KPI requirements have gotten ridiculous requiring employees to almost literally fight over available work to make ourselves look better. Its a complete sham, a numbers game. There are those of us that are legitimately here for our users and administrators, but the quantity of work has vastly outweighed the quality.
