Pros

They let you work remotely.

Cons

Jamf’s management is inept, their compensation is abysmal. It is embarrassing to see that this place qualifies for a “Fortune’s best to work for” company. But hey, at least one manager’s manager built a plinko board on company time to try to entertain himself with 5 dollar raffles for the sales reps who were bringing in tens of thousands of dollars of new business for the company. If you want to get promoted based on job performance and success, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you can take a corporate porking with a grin while doing your best Kevin Bacon impression, “Thank you, sir. May I have another?” then you’ll do great. Middle management is so poor that their suggestions are typically counterproductive. I wish I were joking, but they have proven repetitively that most of them can’t even successfully read a chart or graph. 

If you’re even a reasonably good employee who prioritizes tasks, and can effectively achieve your own goals, you’ll be so incredibly bored and disappointed when they pass you and all the other qualified people for a hamster that can run in the wheel. Jamf’s structure is like rowing a boat, where the managers are all sitting at the front telling each other how good of a job they’re doing, while half the employees have figured out they can do almost nothing. The other half is actually working, but the managers can’t see anything past their self-inflating congratulatory remarks to themselves. So the boat just spins in circles until the power rowers are paddling like baby ducklings. 

 If you haven no drive, no ambition, and no work ethic then you should apply. Because, with an attitude like that, you'll be in management in no time. Otherwise, avoid this place. It is the embodiment of a toxic culture disguised as “Minnesota nice.”

Pros

- Good people - product leader - great accelerators baked into pay structure - lots of opportunity to grow into management - ESPP - No layoffs (so far)

Cons

- Base pay is pretty bad - Jamf growing into a tandem of management and security focus has had its growing pains but mostly it seems like the road map is pretty clear - Sad seeing Dean Hager retire, he was an all time CEO, but with the replacement being an internal hire it probably wont change much. - To some extent the recent recession has led to a minor increase in micro management. Ultimately this probably was necessary as the culture is super relaxed, and with any company high performing reps still have a long leash.

Thanks for the review! We are excited at the growth Jamf has had in recent years and are proud to have maintained our culture and values during this progression. We continue to put in a lot of work to ensure our systems, processes, and resources scale along with us, and to build structure and stability as we settle into the growth and success of our company.
