Pros

Some really cool folks working on the floor. As well as some very cool customers. This will keep you working for Jamf, but is absolutely not a reason to go to work there.

Cons

Jamf is the biggest sham in software employment today. They will try to explain away their disgustingly poor pay, with beanbag chairs and the odd office party. Year-over-year pay increases are well below industry average and they will tell you you should feel lucky just to work there. Career advancement opportunities are slim to none once you hit a certain, yet very low, level. They will dangle career opportunities to get you to stay docile and when a position opens up they will hire from the outside. To Jamf their employees are disposable. They consistently brag about being a 'Top Employer' yet internally they're a mess. They draw heavily on allowing fresh graduates a 'foot in the door', so tenure there is a joke. Management will regularly remind employees that they are disposable. Middle management is ruining the organization. Too many MBA's with zero experience in the real world. They'd rather have a workforce that looks good to potential buyers, than support their people and customers. The product is a mess, and effects all aspects of the business. I watched good people be walked out the door because they challenged the status quo. Jamf is dying, and senior management is asleep at the wheel. If you're part of the LGBTQIA community or a minority, steer clear.

Pros

Jamf, during my time there, was a really great place to be. I felt that the community and company culture were very supportive, and your responsibilities were clearly outlined. When I was hired, there was still a lot of fun to be had with the company. Offsites were great, team meetings were a lot of fun, and it made you want to sign in to work every day.

Cons

Towards the end of my time at Jamf, after a series of acquisitions, it was difficult to keep up with the different silos of technology we were responsible for as experts. Plus, compensation increases had largely gone away. It was difficult to get a promotion or raise, and towards the very end, there was a looming threat of a layoff over your head most of the time.
