One of the good ones

Pros

Jama has a caring and passionate CEO who goes out of his way to enhance the culture. It even has a very strong People Dept. Benefits and pay seem in or above the ballpark of similar young sw companies. Great office and location All in all solid place to work where you will be more than a cog in the wheel. They care about your growth.

Cons

Not many. Mainly a bit cultish at times. Could use more diversity and 'outsider' views, which I believe they are getting more of and working towards. Product isn't overly interesting, but it will hopefully solve some large product development problems.

Jama has everything going for it: * Steady and deliberate growth both financially and personnel-wise * Employees are treated with respect, handed responsibilities and allowed to self-manage where appropriate, and guided by managers who know when and how to be supportive * Product and Development teams are dedicated to continuously improving core product and work closely with Sales and Services teams as well as external stakeholders to guide development * Company culture which encourages work-life balance, and embraces bike enthusiasts, microbrew enthusiasts, and coffee enthusiasts alike * Full transparency from the CEO-on-down to the internal team about the state of the company and strategic positioning / initiatives * Beautiful office space with plenty of room to grow, located in the Pearl district of Portland

Cons

Jama is growing quickly and has lost some of it's small-company / start-up charm and feel

Great colleagues but leadership's AI focus raises concerns

Pros

Peers are a true pleasure to work with and it's easy to cross-collaborate.

Cons

Leadership is all-in on AI and confident that they will be the exception to the second wave of regret you see other SaaS companies who adopted earlier expressing. Leadership is demanding faster output and criticizing and eliminating any old guard who flag concerns around the approach.
