Pros

Jamf is a great company to work for. I worked at another "best place in the Twin Cities to work for" companies for 7 years and Jamf is miles ahead in terms of leadership and direction. The atmosphere is casual, yet mature. People act like adults. I have the freedom to define a lot of the work I actually do, and am trusted to do it. Sure there are company objectives to meet, but if I don't like how something is built, I can improve upon it without the bureaucracy. No place is perfect, but this is one of the good ones. I've been at Jamf for 3 years with no plans to leave anytime soon. The Volunteer Time Off is really cool too. I've never had that perk before. You get 16 hours to spend volunteering anywhere you want, and if you get approval from your manager you can get additional time.

Cons

Building management does not allow dogs in the office :( The Vista buyout affected some people or departments more than others. Having shares in the company stock was a perk I never had before, so losing that kind of sucked (our shares were bought out, so we didn't lose the money, just can't keep gaining more shares or value).

A falling star

Pros

There are some very smart, passionate people here. People are always looking to improve and are willing to take time out of their day to help you out. Genuinely nice and humble teammates. Good work-life balance. Pay is pretty in-line with the market. There are opportunities to work with a lot of technologies. Jamf's products do so much that you can learn a ton.

Cons

Jamf isn't really a software company anymore. The majority of the codebase is built on code from 5+ years ago that was very poorly designed. Projects to fix tech debt have never started or end up stalling out. Sales has the final word on what work gets prioritized and product really only cares about the current crisis and playing catch up. Development has gotten slower and more frustrating as more and more features are piled on top of a crumbling codebase. It's become clear that the only thing that executives care about is increasing sales and hitting financial goals. Alarm bells raised by engineering leadership go ignored over and over. They've forgotten the importance of "software" in a software company. There are no equity opportunities whatsoever for employees (outside of C-levels). Everyone was bought out of their equity after the sale to Vista with nothing to offset. There's not any opportunity for career development past a certain point. If you're fine with implementing interesting features on top of existing code you'll do fine here, but if you want to innovate or have a broader impact look elsewhere.

Pros

Jamf is a growing company with lots of opportunity if you are passionate about what you do and are willing to work hard. The culture is relaxed, flexible, and the company values aren’t just corporate speak. They are really engrained into the operational decisions and how people act. I have only been with Jamf for a few months, but I am more than 20 years into my career, and of all of the companies I have worked for Jamf has really good people. There’s not a lot of ego, or arrogance, just people who work together to make sure the company succeeds.

Cons

There are a lot of opportunities to work those on your team, but we could do a better job at working together across departments to learn from each other, collaborate, and avoid being too silod.
