Pros

I can honestly say I learned a lot from my time at Jamf. My direct coworkers were some of the smartest and most caring people that I've worked with and the projects I worked on were engaging and impactful. Jamf also took COVID very seriously and immediately transitioned to a WFH model, despite previously being against the idea for most employees/roles. They also provided stipends to each employee to build out their home offices. I believe Jamf has now transitioned to a "WFH if you want" model permanently.

Cons

I'll echo what another poster said about not overstaying your welcome at Jamf. Jamf is not the place if you're looking for a competitive salary or career-advancing opportunities. In my department, the best opportunities went to those who didn't question management while the people who spoke out with valid concerns were basically told to stop talking in team meetings. Jamf constantly preaches "relentless self-improvement" but I never saw that within my department's leadership. Employees were never given the opportunity to provide direct feedback about management and the yearly "engagement survey" results were ignored when they started to show a decline. This caused concerns to fester and department morale to drop to an all time low. Anyone who went to HR with concerns was ignored. The compensation at Jamf is laughable. They may have been able to justify the low pay when they were competing with the marked in Eau Claire, Wisconsin but now that remote work is a thing, it's no wonder tenured employees are leaving in droves. The brain drain is real and I think Jamf will start feeling the effects of it soon if they aren't already.

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We are sorry this has been your experience. We do value employee input to understand how we can learn and grow as a company, and where we may be falling short. As a high growth organization, we do recognize there has been some growing pains. We are committed to taking care of our team members, and are looking to address appropriate staffing levels, compensation, and making sure employees have a positive experience at Jamf. We know that the compensation landscape globally has shifted, and Jamf has a number of efforts currently underway to be able to retain our current talent as well as continue to recruit top talent in the industry. We take a ‘whole employee experience’ view of compensation and strive to make investments not only in cash and salary related items, but also other services to ensure the wellbeing (financial, physical, and emotional) of our teams. It is important that we provide all employees in every part of the organization with the systems, tools, resources and accommodations they need to be productive and creative, and benefits and rewards to recognize their work.

Pros

-Jamf has excellent healthcare at an affordable + competitive price. -Work/life balance is great for most roles. -Growing and secure company. -Major points to bringing on the new CIO who is needed for the next chapter of growth. -Excellent offering of hardware to all levels.

Cons

-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.

Jamf is committed to taking care of our team members, and part of that promise is ensuring all Jamfs are fairly and equitably paid. We know that the compensation landscape globally has shifted for a number of reasons, and Jamf has a number of efforts underway to be able to retain our current talent and continue to recruit top talent that wants to make an impact on the world. Jamf also takes a ‘whole employee experience’ view of compensation, and strives to make investments not only in cash and salary related items, but also other services to ensure the wellbeing (financial, physical, and emotional) of our teams. Just within the 2021 alone, Jamf has rolled out an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), provided ownership to our employees in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), expanded on our paid parental leaves in the US and added family planning benefit services like IVF and egg freezing, provided for an additional 3 paid holidays for the end of 2021… and we are not done yet. We continue to review all of our total rewards and make investments to support our employees. Employee retention is a top priority at Jamf in order to continue our more than 90% retention rate and ensure Jamf is a great place to work for all.
