Pros

JAMF is absolutely incredible. The first thing you're told when you're hired is "You're an adult, we trust you. Act like an adult and we won't have any problems." And they really mean that: if you get your work done and you're an A-player, get out your NERF gun and go raid another team. Have a beer at the end of the day. I haven't come across a single person who isn't exceptionally talented in their area. You're hired because you're a good personality fit and you're skilled in your field. Training is absolutely fantastic, it's almost like being back in college but instead of paying to take classes, you're being paid! I came in as a very experienced Mac and iOS user, and my skills have still grown significantly.

Cons

Silo'ing is a little bit of a problem right now, but management is encouraging everyone to reach out to other departments and build relationships. JAMF is rapidly growing and there are some scalability issues, but they're getting sorted.

Declining rapidly

Pros

Laid back atmosphere, room for growth, some positions have competitive wages for the area based on education/experience. If you are someone who can take initiative, approach new things with an open mind, work well with difficult personalities, take constant changes in direction with stride, and be committed to educating yourself and improving the way things are done, you will go far.

Cons

The company is growing at a rate that is not being handled well, causing too much chaos. Original values have been debased into things that are simply recited to new hires or repeated over and over until they lose their original meaning. There used to be a sense of ownership for what JAMF was. We were proud of what we were doing and took pride in working hard towards improvement. There was an implied trust between everyone, which worked when JAMF was smaller because in general, the people who were hired back then were 5 star employees. It used to be practice to hire "good people" because you can train good people to have technical knowledge. You can't train "bad people who happen to have a lot of technical knowledge" to be "good people". Everyone was expected to be capable of learning independently, to make things easier on others (not just yourself), to help out struggling team mates, and to work towards self improvement, improving the product, and improving the experience of the customer. Because the company is growing so fast and dynamically changing, the bar appears to have been lowered for new employees and elevated for the amount of work that is expected to be completed. People now blame others for things not being "better" or "easier". Instead of taking a bit of time to learn things and understand problems to work together and organize solutions, people make split decisions, cut corners, or find other people to take things off their plate. Silos have been created and management isn't ever on the same page. Priorities change rapidly. The solution is having a ton of meetings that no one can attend because everyone is in a constant state of confusion, frustration, and burnout trying to get the "real" work done.

Pros

Great culture, the office is great with nice perks and benefits. One of the best things, there is no micro-management. We seem to hire smart people that work well with autonomy in the workplace. JAMF is a great company that values customers and most importantly the employees.

Cons

There aren't many! But one would be a more diverse workplace.
