Pros

- Amazing company growth and value. - Job security - we continued to grow through the pandemic, I have no concerns about losing my job, market downturns etc. Such a relief compared to some of my friends who are struggling or stressed. - Opportunities to move around the company and try new thing. I was a leader on the QA side of Engineering and wanted to challenge myself, so I was given the opportunity to convert a professional services team and turn it into a high functioning engineering team and productize several new projects. - Work with amazing customers building amazing things. - Flexible work hours, remote work and family time. - Good benefits, time off, bonuses, gym membership, showers. - Stock options in a growth company that will be worth something !!$$$!!!

Cons

- Jama is a fast growing company and we finally hit a point when some of the long timers (6,9,12 years) are looking for a change. This is the lifecycle of a company like Jama, so there are opportunities for new leaders to emerge, but also spots of growing pains rebuilding tribal knowledge. -Not really a con in today's world. Most teams have remote members now, so there is some culture change from getting drinks, playing board games etc. Now we have more virtual hangouts and online game nights.

Pros

They hire bright, talented, wonderful people. The product has nothing but potential.

Cons

They often fail to empower those bright people they hire, and they leave. Leadership seems to embrace unimpressive managers lately. And there is no product strategy to drive focus and good contributions. The strategy seems to be little more than making the numbers look good so they can exit. Plus they are basically owned by investors at this point.
