    Good, but needs work to stay good and improve

    Jul 18, 2016 - Support in Eau Claire, WI
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Customer focused -Healthy growth rate -Always changing -New opportunities available if you apply yourself -Work life balance is good. 40 hours a week possible, and if you want to get ahead and do extra it is still under 60 hours a week for most weeks of the year. -Others in support really do care about helping the customer

    Cons

    -Support is touted as the most important part of or renewals and customer retention (via a great relationship) but it is not market competitive or valued as such in terms of compensation. -Support is also seen as third class. Development and support do not have an open dialog because of this. Having a relationship there would help support better serve the customer. Some actions have been taken to open that door with some informational meetings that have been widely attended, but more needs to be done to break the stigma that support is underneath development. -Support base pay (and upper pay cap it also seems) is less than the customers (Mac and Apple Admins) we serve. If support is to be highly skilled to serve the customer they need to be the best in the industry, and to do so higher compensation will be need to attract and retain talent.

    Great culture but sometimes slow to promote

    Pros

    Great work/life balance depending on the manager and department. They reward people who work hard and want to work their way out of support.

    Cons

    A little heavy on the Jamf kool-aid and not transparent about pay within the company unless local laws required that.

    Thanks for leaving a review! While we are Apple first, Apple best, but we also know that one management solution cannot be stretched to meet all ecosystems. Device management and endpoint security solutions leverage unique capabilities and features of each ecosystem. Through acquisitions we are starting to work more across multiple platforms to serve our customers best.

    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.

    Not angry, just being real.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Jamf has excellent healthcare at an affordable + competitive price. -Work/life balance is great for most roles. -Growing and secure company. -Major points to bringing on the new CIO who is needed for the next chapter of growth. -Excellent offering of hardware to all levels.

    Cons

    -No unlimited PTO -Growing pains are incredibly difficult for now and the foreseeable future. -In many ways, Jamf has not matured and acts like they are a company of 500 people in Eau Claire. The Midwest mentality running through the veins of this company will eventually destroy it. -Individuals promoted to management after tenure and not talent or results. -Lots of times you have the “opportunity” to do more than one job until you force leadership to build positions to help scale or cover up gaping holes that have existed for a long period of time. -Pizza parties in lieu of actual investment in employees. Now for the real pain: -Jamf has failed to address the biggest elephant in the room: horrible pay compared to nearly every other software company (small, medium, large, enterprise). -For many sales roles, Jamf is usually 30-60% lower for similar titles in every market in the US. -While many companies have pivoted to offering remote employees California-like salaries regardless of location, Jamf pays like people are buying a house on the outskirts of Eau Claire. It’s not sustainable. -Subpar RSU offerings below middle management. -No company percentage bonus for individual contributors. During my two weeks notice, Jamf failed to offer any sort of counter to the competing offers I had. It was literally not mentioned by anyone. Nobody did anything to get me to stay. At all. There is simply no process to retain highly talented and highly technical people. This will continue to bleed them dry until pay is addressed.

    Jamf is committed to taking care of our team members, and part of that promise is ensuring all Jamfs are fairly and equitably paid. We know that the compensation landscape globally has shifted for a number of reasons, and Jamf has a number of efforts underway to be able to retain our current talent and continue to recruit top talent that wants to make an impact on the world. Jamf also takes a ‘whole employee experience’ view of compensation, and strives to make investments not only in cash and salary related items, but also other services to ensure the wellbeing (financial, physical, and emotional) of our teams. Just within the 2021 alone, Jamf has rolled out an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), provided ownership to our employees in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), expanded on our paid parental leaves in the US and added family planning benefit services like IVF and egg freezing, provided for an additional 3 paid holidays for the end of 2021… and we are not done yet. We continue to review all of our total rewards and make investments to support our employees. Employee retention is a top priority at Jamf in order to continue our more than 90% retention rate and ensure Jamf is a great place to work for all.
