Pros

Great work environment - flexible schedule as long as your accountable. Reasonable work load given time frames. Above average salary for Minneapolis, average salary for downtown. If you love Apple anything, you will find your people here. Most people are very friendly and will typically go above and beyond to help, even with things outside of their responsibility.

Cons

Career development isn't defined. I found that very few people had a straightforward engagement about what it takes to get to the next step, reviewer included. Discussed this with HR, and nothing came of it. Middle management was disengaged unless there was a problem, then they often broke the processes they helped set up. Upper management is being disingenuous since Vista buy out. It's clear that there have been significant shifts in budget and overall company direction, and when confronted on these things, has repeatedly denied such things. Engineering mainstays have hampered productivity and creativity in solving current problems. Be prepared to fight cargo cultism and fear of change. Employee policies incentivize bad behavior, in my opinion. Jamf used to be an honest place - at least I had thought so. After the founders have left and the buyout occurred, it seems like the priorities of honesty have gone by the wayside.

Pros

Benefits are pretty much the only positive at this point. Working hybrid is nice, but pales when we used to be fully remote with no issues.

Cons

The senior managers of Technical Support are driving this org into the ground. Employees are no longer a human, no longer an employee; we are now just numbers. KPI requirements have gotten ridiculous requiring employees to almost literally fight over available work to make ourselves look better. Its a complete sham, a numbers game. There are those of us that are legitimately here for our users and administrators, but the quantity of work has vastly outweighed the quality.
