Jamf reviews

The downsides: you've got new leadership in the former COO taking over as CEO, and frankly there's no actual concrete strategy on how the security products GTM. One look at the financials and you also realize, this company is being mismanaged financially pretty badly. Sales and marketing are 3x where they need to be to be healthy, as revenues haven't upticked to warrant the spend on those segments. So that means they're in a place of break-even for awhile, until they recognize other segments and are willing to invest in those for growth. And speaking of that....this is a typical software company that will absolutely jump the gun on hiring people with the expectation that revenue will automatically just generate by putting people into sales roles. Leadership at the highest levels fail to realize that without proper support of your product, services, etc, that you can't expect instant revenue gratification 6 months into one sales hire. They need to slow down, work on a 5 year plan, and build better business cases before overhiring. If you're looking at Jamf, please ask extremely detailed questions around their 3-5 year GTM strategy plan for their security products, and be equally as keen to learn around their ROI expectations. Run, don't walk, away from anybody who can't answer those questions as specifically as possible before moving forward with them. If there's an excuse used around "technology environment is always changing so we have to be able to adapt", say thanks but no thanks, because that obviously means there's no concrete buy in from leadership on a strategy that makes sense. Jamf says they're Apple first...that's horribly incorrect. They are a Mac-first company, not Apple first. As long as you understand that walking in, that helps reset expectations properly. Lastly...very immature company when dealing with anything with channel partners or anything that's not a direct sale methodology. This is evident everywhere from sales operations to leadership at the highest levels to the direct sales reps and beyond. There's a lot of maturation and learning to be had by Jamf if they want to be successful and grow as a public company.

-No unlimited PTO -Growing pains are incredibly difficult for now and the foreseeable future. -In many ways, Jamf has not matured and acts like they are a company of 500 people in Eau Claire. The Midwest mentality running through the veins of this company will eventually destroy it. -Individuals promoted to management after tenure and not talent or results. -Lots of times you have the “opportunity” to do more than one job until you force leadership to build positions to help scale or cover up gaping holes that have existed for a long period of time. -Pizza parties in lieu of actual investment in employees. Now for the real pain: -Jamf has failed to address the biggest elephant in the room: horrible pay compared to nearly every other software company (small, medium, large, enterprise). -For many sales roles, Jamf is usually 30-60% lower for similar titles in every market in the US. -While many companies have pivoted to offering remote employees California-like salaries regardless of location, Jamf pays like people are buying a house on the outskirts of Eau Claire. It’s not sustainable. -Subpar RSU offerings below middle management. -No company percentage bonus for individual contributors. During my two weeks notice, Jamf failed to offer any sort of counter to the competing offers I had. It was literally not mentioned by anyone. Nobody did anything to get me to stay. At all. There is simply no process to retain highly talented and highly technical people. This will continue to bleed them dry until pay is addressed.
