Pros

* I think every place likes to claim this - but the people. I have formed professional and personal relationships that will last decades. Talented, smart and dedicated colleagues that bring a challenging level of quality and dedication to their work. * Time - I don't know how else to say it, but there's a sense of permanence and establishment at Jamf. You help build something and watch gain momentum on its own over years. In many roles, especially post-sales, you can work at Jamf for many, many years, and grow your skills organically within those roles. * Benefits - they've taken a hit in recent years, but the overall benefit package is still quite generous and is intended to help wherever/whenever possible. Reductions in benefits are clearly done to save costs during difficult times rather than boost profits. * Work-life balance - this is an improvement. When I started at Jamf, there was a culture of workplace drinking and a consistent blurring of the lines between personal and work. These days, those lines are clearer and better conveyed.

Cons

* Compensation - you will likely be paid less than you would working a similar role in another organization. The benefits and work-life balance may make up for this, or they may not - that depends on your needs and expectations. * Communication - learn to read a corporate earnings report, you'll get more insight from what we announce to shareholders than what we discuss internally. $36m share buyback? Never internally mentioned - not on the back of the layoffs. Executive compensation increases during a hiring freeze? Not a word. * Senior leadership - the executive team at Jamf has undergone a significant amount of change over the past couple of years, most notably with the departure of longtime CEO Dean Hager. John Strosahl was a capable Chief Revenue Officer but he struggles to deliver as a charismatic leader or visionary and consistently falls short when tasked with expressing a strategic vision or direction for the organization.

Pros

Benefits, culture, and community drive Jamf. Pay can always be better, but is fair to the market.

Cons

Some growing pains recently, maturing from a start-up to a stable company with new technology, such as AI, competing with internal resources.

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.
