Pros

Great work environment - flexible schedule as long as your accountable. Reasonable work load given time frames. Above average salary for Minneapolis, average salary for downtown. If you love Apple anything, you will find your people here. Most people are very friendly and will typically go above and beyond to help, even with things outside of their responsibility.

Cons

Career development isn't defined. I found that very few people had a straightforward engagement about what it takes to get to the next step, reviewer included. Discussed this with HR, and nothing came of it. Middle management was disengaged unless there was a problem, then they often broke the processes they helped set up. Upper management is being disingenuous since Vista buy out. It's clear that there have been significant shifts in budget and overall company direction, and when confronted on these things, has repeatedly denied such things. Engineering mainstays have hampered productivity and creativity in solving current problems. Be prepared to fight cargo cultism and fear of change. Employee policies incentivize bad behavior, in my opinion. Jamf used to be an honest place - at least I had thought so. After the founders have left and the buyout occurred, it seems like the priorities of honesty have gone by the wayside.

Pros

Nice office buildings, free coffee. Good downtown location in Minneapolis that's easy to get to. You can set your own hours to some degree, with schedule flexibility.

Cons

Bizarre company. Management (largely supervisors and mid-levels) desperately cling to “what JAMF used to be” and refuse to listen to anyone with ideas that fall outside their self-contained group of “original employees.” The same people are named meeting after meeting, conference after conference, with no attention being made to new talent and new ideas. Pay is absurd. Companies in the Minneapolis/St Paul suburbs are paying more for entry level positions than someone who’s been at JAMF for 3+ years. There’s a strange “completely against any policy” attitude at JAMF. This manifest in ways like not requiring dogs to be on a leash, to the point where there are aggressive dog confrontations every time we go to the Eau Claire office. They harp on “if you drain the coffee pot you have to refill it," but not “keep your dog leashed in a commons area.” The building in Minneapolis is nice enough, and I suspect the new one will be too. The office in Eau Claire seems fine. Employee interaction with new people seem cliquish at best. Unless you already know someone at JAMF or easily fit into the very limited expression of culture here, good luck making many friends. Little opportunity for advancement. Jobs are often posted internally when a candidate has already been selected. These positions nearly always go to friends of supervisors, managers, or employees who went to college with those same people.
