Pros

Lots to love about Jamf, but *depends heavily on your team*. Depending on your manager and teammates, you might work with some super cool and chill coworkers. I’m really grateful for mine, they’re a supportive bunch. People are quick to try to pitch in, kind, polite and ready to help. When things are going smoothly, there are a lot of good vibes and jokes here at Jamf. The products and solutions are easy to talk about and learn, and it’s fun to sell a product when you’re enthusiastic about its capabilities. Wins are celebrated with shout outs. Senior managers have an open door policy and will hire total beginners to the sales game, teach them from the ground up skills and how to sell.

Cons

Highlights: so much focus put on “culture” that very real issues (pay inequality, lack of tools to do the job) are glossed over. Pay is far below industry average. RSUs are no longer offered to new hires. Very metrics focused culture. Entire meetings devoted to going over and over the statistics of dials and email open rates. Culture: One example that stands out the most, was when we had our weeklong company wide summit in January. Meeting attendance was compulsory, and there were a lot. At the end of the week senior leadership sent out an email scolding reps for low activity in the past 4 work days, using the phrase “completely unacceptable.” So…..you create a event highlighting the culture of Jamf, required hours of meetings, but it’s “completely unacceptable” to you that reps couldn’t cram 8 hours of work in the few hours of the day in one week around lectures and celebrations of the amazing culture? Pay: Promises were made to re-evaluate pay adjustments for inflation after a company wide survey showed this was BY FAR the area of the most dissatisfaction - nothing was done. Even after reporting record profits, we were told in the same breath they cannot afford to adjust pay or give raises. Holiday bonus was a gift card to Jamf’s swag store. Role: SDR’s are promised a quick and clear path to promotion at 6 months to AE once proven on the sales floor. But the reality is sales is over-saturated with AE’s, territories are constantly being shuffled and chopped smaller and smaller for enough to go around, while quotas are raised every quarter and office politics have a lot do with promotions. At least in Sales Dev, reps are treated very much like just a number. Reps are expected to cater completely to the several AE’s they’re assigned to. Even when it means losing opps or meetings because of their calendars and preferences. Tons of friction between territory SDRs and security SDRs; you share territories and have the exact same job functions. AE’s vary in their treatment of SDRs between very collaborative and team focused, and treating their reps like trash. Depending on your manager, you might have plenty of help or no assistance navigating this dynamic.

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. At Jamf we take a "whole employee experience" view of our compensation and benefits packages, and continue to make investments and improvements based on competitive market pressure and employee feedback. We continue to offer equity in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU) to all new hires joining the company and consider equity a key component in our Total Compensation philosophy. In addition, we also have programs to reward employees with ongoing equity grants based on performance and role. We orient our compensation planning around a performance based total compensation approach including salary, commission, bonus and equity, and anchor this based on market benchmarks to ensure competitiveness. We have a collaborative sales team environment and onboarding process offering the training and support needed to help support and develop SDRs as they learn the business and product offerings and demonstrate confidence speaking with customers. While career growth and progression from SDRs to AE is based on performance, we set achievable targets, help each other out, and share best practices across the team. Jamf continues to be a people focused company and we value employee feedback. We encourage all of our employees to provide this kind of feedback and share their concerns through our Employee Engagement Surveys or by reaching out directly to HR. It is important to have these discussions so we can continue to monitor employee well-being and adjust our compensation and benefits offering with all Jamfs in mind.

Pros

+Lot's of salt of the earth people - but many have been let go or moved on to better things +Not too high for pressure for SAAS Sales - theres a hidden understanding theres only so much TAM for Jamf so they can't be too tough on a bad quarter +Good place to start out in SAAS Sales - especially if you are trying to break into tech/cybersecurity +Dean Hager (Former CEO) was a great leader and some of his leadership is still at Jamf. But alot of the remnants of Jamf's glory days have faded.

Cons

+Poor Pay - Salary increased a total of 10k over 3 years while consistently being a top performer. +Lack of Promotion: No visibility to be promoted to bigger accounts/rep titles, management. Most "duplicative management" let go. +Lack of Leadership: We hear from them in public calls and forums but rarely get engagement with them on individual teams. Simply put - they no longer look you in the eye anymore. +Mandatory RTO: 3 days a week to sit in front of a computer and do the same work. No coverage on increase monthly cost of parking, gas/commute, vehicle toll : spending an additional $500 dollars to have a more inconvenient work environment that takes away our time, and in my experience, work efficiency. +Big Brother Management: Everyone feels like they have to look over their shoulder before they say anything because: 1. Most reps/individual contributors don't have good things to say anymore. 2. Management is watching 3. Heard stories of people getting PIP'd while hitting goals because of XYZ reason 4. questionable on how politics have played a role in who has remained over 3 layoffs in last 18 months +Oh yeah - 3 rounds of layoffs in 18 months +Tech: it's no longer new, it's not even better than competition for a lot of categories, and its hard for endusers to use. The tech was a big deal in the past because we created a market for Apple MDM/security. It's become saturated and our value prop as being the best is not easy to stand on simply because we are not the only one anymore, and we frankly are not developing and creating cutting edge software at the same rate we did before.

We appreciate your feedback and comments. The past few years have brought significant change across our industry, and while we’ve made decisions to adapt to those realities, we also recognize the impact those changes have had on employees. In order to better serve our customers, our go-to-market employees who are near a Jamf office are onsite 3 days a week to bring those teams together who facility our customer journey to improve that experience.  By bringing together our go-to-market teams more intentionally and on a more regular basis we will be better able to break down silos and encourage cross team collaboration in ways that can’t be done as efficiently virtually. We believe the informal interaction among teams will create more opportunities to improve our customer experience, increase revenue, and reduce churn. Regarding the company direction, we recently announced a strategic reinvestment plan to drive long-term growth and realign our go-to-market organization to allow for investment in areas that have the greatest opportunity for growth including increasing investment and resources to support Enterprise customers and simplify our approach to SMB.

Once a great company

Pros

The people at Jamf make it a great place.

Cons

The company lacks direction and focus. The C-Level is highly inaccessible, and the divide between frontline teams and upper management has become increasingly evident over the years. While Jamf was once a great company that cared about its employees, it has lost its people-focus that made it a great place and culture to work at.
