Pros

I can honestly say I learned a lot from my time at Jamf. My direct coworkers were some of the smartest and most caring people that I've worked with and the projects I worked on were engaging and impactful. Jamf also took COVID very seriously and immediately transitioned to a WFH model, despite previously being against the idea for most employees/roles. They also provided stipends to each employee to build out their home offices. I believe Jamf has now transitioned to a "WFH if you want" model permanently.

Cons

I'll echo what another poster said about not overstaying your welcome at Jamf. Jamf is not the place if you're looking for a competitive salary or career-advancing opportunities. In my department, the best opportunities went to those who didn't question management while the people who spoke out with valid concerns were basically told to stop talking in team meetings. Jamf constantly preaches "relentless self-improvement" but I never saw that within my department's leadership. Employees were never given the opportunity to provide direct feedback about management and the yearly "engagement survey" results were ignored when they started to show a decline. This caused concerns to fester and department morale to drop to an all time low. Anyone who went to HR with concerns was ignored. The compensation at Jamf is laughable. They may have been able to justify the low pay when they were competing with the marked in Eau Claire, Wisconsin but now that remote work is a thing, it's no wonder tenured employees are leaving in droves. The brain drain is real and I think Jamf will start feeling the effects of it soon if they aren't already.

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.
