Pros

Laid back atmosphere, room for growth, some positions have competitive wages for the area based on education/experience. If you are someone who can take initiative, approach new things with an open mind, work well with difficult personalities, take constant changes in direction with stride, and be committed to educating yourself and improving the way things are done, you will go far.

Cons

The company is growing at a rate that is not being handled well, causing too much chaos. Original values have been debased into things that are simply recited to new hires or repeated over and over until they lose their original meaning. There used to be a sense of ownership for what JAMF was. We were proud of what we were doing and took pride in working hard towards improvement. There was an implied trust between everyone, which worked when JAMF was smaller because in general, the people who were hired back then were 5 star employees. It used to be practice to hire "good people" because you can train good people to have technical knowledge. You can't train "bad people who happen to have a lot of technical knowledge" to be "good people". Everyone was expected to be capable of learning independently, to make things easier on others (not just yourself), to help out struggling team mates, and to work towards self improvement, improving the product, and improving the experience of the customer. Because the company is growing so fast and dynamically changing, the bar appears to have been lowered for new employees and elevated for the amount of work that is expected to be completed. People now blame others for things not being "better" or "easier". Instead of taking a bit of time to learn things and understand problems to work together and organize solutions, people make split decisions, cut corners, or find other people to take things off their plate. Silos have been created and management isn't ever on the same page. Priorities change rapidly. The solution is having a ton of meetings that no one can attend because everyone is in a constant state of confusion, frustration, and burnout trying to get the "real" work done.

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.
