Pros

+ My favorite part of my job is my team. I've never worked with a group of people that I truly enjoyed spending time with both in and outside of work. + Our customers are doing amazing things and have remained positive about our product even during some of the most challenging times. + The new leadership. If it wasn't for them (and my team, of course) I would have left long ago.

Cons

+ I think the majority of the cons are behind us now that we have new leadership in place and they are focused on the right things

Thank you very much for your review! I’m glad to hear that you are all-in, I agree that our people and our customers are two of our strongest assets. I appreciate the advice to management that you shared and believe that those are three areas that we can continue improving on over time.

Pros

As other reviews say, many of the people here are smart and motivated. The product is decent on its own, and ranks as one of the better ones in the small niche that it tries to fill. It is flexible enough to fill several different facets of that niche, which is nice - customers are from various interesting fields like aerospace, automotive, medical, and computing. My manager was divine, but I was a lucky one.

Cons

While my manager fought for our team to have opportunities to grow, most of those opportunities were either internal or leavings from other departments. If you work in engineering or product, you get what you ask for. If you don't, you're probably not going to be able to find much in the way of promotions or raises no matter how excellent your work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your pros, cons, and advice. It’s great to see your positive feedback on your manager, colleagues, the product and the market. I’m sorry that things didn’t work out to the full extent that you desired per the title of your review, but hopefully your time with the company was meaningful nonetheless. I believe that Jama does do a good job of promoting and hiring from within, in fact, in my short time at the company (currently have been here 4 months) I’ve seen several people be promoted or selected for new roles in the company – probably more than I’ve seen with other companies. I highly value developing employees and promoting them within the company so I will make sure that this continues to happen and that it is actively happening across the whole company. I appreciate the advice to management, especially the perception that department rewards and recognition may vary. Every department is valued so I will continue to focus on making sure the collective team feels that recognition.
