Great place to work if you were one of the first 100 employees - Anonymous employee Jama Software Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing both your list of pros, cons, and advice. It’s great to hear how strong your relationship is with your management and colleagues. You are correct that right now we are filling positions with more senior level candidates, whereas in the past we hired a wider range of experience levels. In the short term, we need some very specific skill-sets in targeted roles to achieve our growth goals and to best serve our customer base. Longer term, we will need a broader spectrum of skills and experience again. Start-ups are dynamic, especially when it comes to hiring so I hope you hang in with us for the long term. There hopefully will be many opportunities to continue crafting your role and building your expertise as we scale. It’s a bit difficult to comment on compensation because it’s such a personal thing, but what I can share with you is that we have a very intentionally crafted compensation strategy that benchmarks Jama with local and national companies in software and at our stage of growth. When you combine base salary, equity, and benefits our compensation has proven to be very attractive and market competitive. As far as diversity goes, our employee make-up generally matches that of the region but I agree with you that we can always do a better job of hiring more minorities and that is definitely a priority at Jama. We have hired several women in Engineering and diverse candidates in key roles but we can and want to do more. Thanks again for providing your candid feedback. Overall, I’d encourage you to work with your manager and the People team to make sure that your voice is heard and that we have a solid path forward for both you and the company.
