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

- 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.
