Pros

Benefits are good. Unlimited PTO is nice. People are friendly. Remnants of old Semrush are wonderful.

Cons

Business oriented culture. A lot of layers of managers. No wage indexation. Broken processes in the dev team. Unexpected layoffs are normal for Semrush now.

Pros

The product is an industry leader, making it exciting to work on. The teams are filled with incredibly smart, creative, and collaborative people. Benefits and remote flexibility are solid, and there are good opportunities to learn SEO and digital marketing deeply.

Cons

The work culture can occasionally lean toward working harder than playing hard especially as the company scales.
