Aggressive legal tactics, weak and distrusted leadership
Pros
Strong product suite with genuine customer need. Many talented colleagues at the contributor level. Also some exceptional managers/directors.
Cons
Senior leadership feels out of its depth. The stock price has collapsed in recent years, which in my view reflects poor strategic decisions and inadequate leadership. A variety of changes from leadership have created an environment of distrust. Jamf is extremely aggressive in enforcing restrictive covenants, even against mid-level employees. After resigning for a new opportunity, I was threatened with legal action that ultimately lead to an offer falling through. The company relies heavily on short-term fixes instead of building a culture that retains people and is no longer the company it once was. A majority of talented employees are no doubt one foot out the door and the ‘sinking ship’ feeling summarised in other reviews feels apt. If I were to review this company purely on public information and ignoring the fact I’d worked there, the signs aren’t much better. A tanking stock price, mass redundancies several times over, the CEO has joined the board of another company at the tail end of last year, and the largest shareholder is now looking to sell. Not a great picture
