Pros

Semrush is a highly dysfunctional company - management doesn’t have a clear strategy, they are growing haphazardly through seemingly random acquisitions without an idea of resource needs or financial impacts. The company needs an experienced public-company CEO, and especially an experienced public-company CFO - the current CFO is inexperienced and this is not a role for learning on the job. The company has potential but it is time to hire experienced leaders, or it will continue to spin its wheels and lose employees. The company still has consultants in Russia.

Cons

Compensation is not commensurate with the demands, the C-Suite is in above its head.

Dear Sender, We believe this review may not pertain to our company, as our management team is comprised of highly skilled professionals with relevant experience. Additionally, we do not engage any consultants in Russia. Yours, the Semrush Team

There's a lot to learn, which isn't a con - but something good to know.

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.
