Brutal lack of empathy

Pros

- Warm, friendly colleagues. Almost everyone was a good communicator - Good collaboration practices. No one was ever too busy to support someone who was stuck or needed more information - Great benefits and a beautiful office that is comfortable and has lots of space and perks/snacks

Cons

During COVID, the company treated people like robots, expecting the same output in the midst of serious collective trauma. Managers also tended to compare colleagues with wildly different backgrounds and experience sets to each other, instead of examining how skills sets on a team will complement each other and create work assignments in alignment with those skills. There was also a lot of turnover in senior management in 2020, and the incoming leadership were, frankly, bullies.

Pros

- As an Individual contributor, amazing growth opportunities in the product org if you want to expand your skill set. - Management team is really first class and most of them were strong practitioners before becoming managers. - Now a remote-first company - The customers (users) are building amazing products, really fun to help them on their journey.

Cons

- A shift to a more a strict budget for employees. Small things like limited stipend for remote set ups, computer upgrades, buying new software, etc. There has been a shift over the past year and it has hurt morale. - Friction from leadership changes. The mission and culture of the org has been diluted, very much a financial milestone driven org at the moment. - Salary and compensation is trending down compared to the greater market. - The product has some legit tech debt, will be painful to fully pay down that debt.

Pros

Some of my colleagues are great people who are there because they truly care about the company and Jama clients.

Cons

Management seems to have no conscience. There is one goal: sell the business. They outsource or reduce workforce while tenured employees are replaced with inexperienced bodies who accept low comp. A lively and happy team has become a sad, back-biting group of people.
