Pros
- Much like London or New York, the people define the character of Jamf. For the most part, the employees are great and embody values that the company could have successfully built upon. - The remote work setting generally supports a good work-life balance.
Cons
- There is toxicity within the ranks. Management seems to be under pressure from above, and this pressure filters down to employees, who are left to endure it. - Feedback is neither welcomed nor implemented. Employees are expected to "do more with less," which ideally means optimizing and making processes more efficient. However, Jamf has instead exhausted its employees, leading to burnout and overall job dissatisfaction. - Redundancies have crippled the workforce. In January, Jamf made 6% of its workforce redundant, causing the remaining employees to absorb the extra work. Those unable to handle the increased workload have been dismissed on performance grounds. Instead of implementing measures to mitigate the impact of these redundancies, management has refrained, likely due to financial constraints. - HR is unresponsive when issues arise. My personal experience with HR was often met with no response via email, and my feedback was ignored. HR prioritizes the company over its people, so it’s unsurprising that my queries were frequently disregarded. - There is a significant lack of communication between teams in the US and Europe. Jamf’s US-centric business approach forces European employees to compensate when communication fails.
