Job Security is a constant worry in the back of everyones mind right now. 2 rounds of layoffs in as many years, with little changes to C-Level should be cause for concern.
Stock is worthless and budget cutting is ruthless right now. If taking a role here, focus on getting the right take home pay, for your location and role. Do your own research on benchmarking, as you will be short changed without the right information.
The company places heavy reliance on shaky, unethical legal tactics and threats to protect market share, rather than focusing on culture, community and employee retention. On reflection, the level of defense the company plays should be a red flag for anyone looking to build a long term career at Jamf. Proceed with caution.
Resourcing at Jamf was a constant problem. Expect to have to wear multiple hats despite the huge amount of staff Jamf has globally, and be weary of empty promises around things getting better. Resource allocation across the regions is vastly inequitable.
Non US teams are expected to deliver big results, without the same level of investment in core functions like Marketing or Operational roles. Expect to have to be very scrappy, with a lot of red tape required to get things done.
Strategic direction feels shortsighted, and Leadership often feels reactive, with priorities shifting quickly and employees/first line managers left to deal with the fallout. Communication from Global leadership can be lacking, and in most cases completely MIA, which adds to the confusion around priorities and provides very little clarity.
Heavy dependence on US based decision making drastically slows down execution for people not based in the US.
Despite the overall solid product offering, they're not keeping pace with competition, and haven't figured out how to navigate a market where they're no longer the only choice.
