Pros

Jamf has the ability to find and hire some of the most talented people I've ever worked with. Almost every employee you work with will be incredibly intelligent in the role, and be able to help you with anything you need. If you start here, you'll feel welcomed by the open arms of the work force. Jamf also made a very surprising and genuine effort during the initial days of COVID to assist in transitioning people to remote work, and have committed to remote work since then. I say surprising because the same exact roles that people were asking to do remote before COVID were shot down constantly, due to "Culture" reasons. This is listed as a pro because they are continuing to support WFH now, so that's good! This is where most of the Pro's end however, and as you can see, competitive pay was not one of the things that was noted as a pro.

Cons

Jamf is not a place where people should stay more than a year or two if they want to get the best out of their career. You'll see the cracks in the walls as soon as you start talking about career advancement and promotions internally at the company. They'll tell you there is always a place for someone who pushes themselves, which is maybe true in the early days of when I started, but absolutely not true now. You'll just end up doing two jobs until they hire someone to do the job you wanted to do instead. Jamf inability to keep up with competitive pay is astonishing for how smart the employees are, which leads me to believe there is something far worse going on behind the scenes. The company prides itself on doing its best for it's employees, which it will try to do for everything except the bottom line for them. Many people who started here end up going somewhere else making 20-40% more for the exact same role, sometimes even more. Jamf uses tier based regional pay to determine your compensation. This was really the only way that pay could work, two years ago... COVID and WFH has changed that significantly by evening out the playing field, and Jamf still has yet to actually adjust to it. Lots of long time tenured employees are leaving Jamf, and those that I am aware of are all leaving with this being a MAJOR point. Jamf prides itself on it's two mission statements of "Relentless Self Improvement" and "Selflessness", which is seen by the employees every single day. They have to relentlessly self improve to keep up with the constant changing directions and demands of the company, which seem to be aimless at times. The need to be selfless to try not to care about the huge inequality of pay they'll receive for doing the same or more work as those at a different company.
