Jamf Employee Reviews about "pay"

Pros

Great culture and work life balance

Cons

Lower pay for the industry

Pros

Overall very nice offices, they allow beer and alcohol at work, dogs are welcome in the Eau Claire office. Startup feel.

Cons

Pay in support as a TAM is 54% lower than similar positions at competitors of JAMF. Little to no opportunity for advancement if you stay in support. Walking out of the door mentally exhausted each and everyday due to the highly technical nature and highly demanding customers. JAMF has changed over the years, once a team they are now creating silo teams. The culture has taken a dip along with sharp growth, discontinuance of Company retreat, to be replaced with a sales convention (for the already lavishly compensated sales team).

Pros

Great to work for/Flexible/Family atmosphere/Diversity

Cons

Low pay for entry level employees

Pros

Good work/life balance. 4 weeks PTO starting with the ability to work from home.

Cons

Below average pay. Leadership works hard to keep down and attempts to distract from low pay by giving gifts.

Pros

Incredible, awesome people. Provides great technology Highly collaborative Great overall values If you're in the right department and role, makes you want to work here Overall great on-boarding experience (for the most part)

Cons

Does not pay a living wage, even for where Jamf is headquartered Does not believe in cost-of-living increases; You're lucky for a 3% annual raise Rest of company is not scaling with customer quantity or sales Survived greatly on 'Kool-aid' (Great place to work), but this is going sour Upper department leadership showing massive incompetencies in decisionmaking Tier 1 Technical Support is nothing more than a call-center grindfest, but management can't even do that correctly Tier 1 Technical Support managers are some of the most apathetic, zombie, churn and burn, lack of humanity individuals and there is no reason for it. I blame this on their managers, and continue upwards to upper Support leadership. Metrics are simply horrible, and the methods to achieve them are soul-sucking, and there is a fundamental unwillingness for improvement. Tier 2 and 3 leadership is better, and so is the role, except it still does not pay a reasonable living wage for the amount of skill required Onboarding can take 8 weeks for trainings, but you still don't get taught or coached any of the important topics Processes need a rework, and despite probably knowing best, management does not listen to employees for process feedback. You're lucky to make it a year here before you want to leave If you make it longer than a year, you're still wanting to leave, but also have to fight your way through to better pay, because the only way you will get paid more is by taking on new roles Jamf does not give cost of living raises, period. They go against them. Departments are given an annual merit raise budget and they have to divvy it up. Years of service and true skill mean nothing, let alone a living wage. They gave an RSU grant, but because the stocks plummeted and have not gone up, it's still not very meaningful. Can't eat an RSU, live under an RSU, and can't survive on the promise of an RSU. And if you leave the company, you lose it. For years, Jamf has been promising to look into benefits, compensation, and so on, but to this day has done essentially nothing. Many roles have had the same starting wage that they did 3 or more years ago. They are literally hiring compensation analysts, which simply boggles the mind. They need to hire someone to hear the words 'Pay people more.'. They need a fundamental readjustment to what pay looks like, and they need it soon. HR tickets are known to go for weeks, if not months, without answering, because like many other departments, HR itself is overworked and not scaling. There are multiple occasions of accommodations being ignored, Management isn't doing enough to protect employees, especially women employees, from customers and individuals that go out of their way to be... creepy. Company believes in 'relentless self improvement', but does not practice what it preaches as a company. Support department gets shafted on days off, because you work some holidays and you do not get any special benefits for doing so. You don't even get holidays 'refunded' as floating holidays. Support department has weekend rotations, and at the higher tiers, on-call. Recently got rid of COVID pay. If you get COVID now, you must use your limited PTO. Multiple employees are having trouble using other related benefits though, because HR and the third-party carriers must send replies by way of covered wagon or carrier pigeon.

Pros

It's a great company with the best product on the market. My job is completely autonomous, and does not work me too hard

Cons

The pay isn't all that competitive

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

Pay is great Flexible schedule for work/life balance Awesome work environment with great people to work with Centrally located to a lot of fun places and bars Unlimited opportunities to learn and grow

Cons

Right out of the gate, you are expected to be at full speed with anything and everything that get's put on your plate. Being downtown Minneapolis, parking is always difficult...however that doesn't directly affect the work place or the job itself.

Pros

Nothing to complain about other than they pay well below industry average for senior sales roles

Cons

low pay, no incentives for sales to exceed quota, continue to demand more while paying less

Pros

-Management is transparent, responsive, and good at guiding you to success -Work culture is that of Silicon Valley (Prairie in Midwest) -Industry-leading solution means that sales are easy and you're selling something you believe in -Business outlook is phenomenal and YOY growth is steadily outrageous -Frequent team outings, events, socials, etc. -Charitable organization -VERY competitive pay if you're good at your job

Cons

Growing pains can be real. Management is stretched thin at times because of this. As hiring continues, I imagine this should settle. People gripe about how things can be undefined in terms of their career outlook here, but in reality it's because the growth means new positions are constantly being created, so if you ride the wave and make your contributions known you'll find that the opportunities will find you within the company.
