Pros

Great benefits Good colleagues Overall not bad

Cons

To be honest, I do not want this to sound like a bitter review from someone who was let go, so I will try to keep it fair and professional. I have more than 10 years of experience in this field, and this is only the second time in my career that I have been dismissed, despite having worked across multiple companies and successfully mentored many colleagues over the years. My experience has taught me that every employee learns and develops at their own pace, and I strongly believe potential should be evaluated not only on immediate performance, but also on progress and long-term capability. My experience with the company started very positively, and I genuinely appreciated many aspects of the role and the team. However, after five months and multiple probation extensions, management ultimately decided that I would not be able to handle the more complex aspects of the position, despite the fact that I had made the improvements that were requested of me. What disappointed me most was not the decision itself, but the feeling that there was limited room for growth beyond a very narrow timeframe. In previous roles, I was never expected to master the majority of responsibilities so quickly, and I am confident that with 6–12 more months, I could have become a top performer in this role as well. I respect the company’s right to make business decisions, but on a human level, I left feeling disappointed. I believe organizations benefit greatly from balancing performance expectations with patience, development, and trust in employees who are clearly making progress.

At Semrush, performance expectations and probation evaluations are closely tied to the requirements of each role and are reviewed carefully throughout the onboarding period.

Pros

Amazing salary, benefits, location, office, breakfast buffet every day. Everyone is extremely friendly, the office managers take great care of your needs with all the food and the atmosphere they create, the office is well located in Barcelona, the support from HR and anyone is superb. I love how international we are - people between 25-35 from all countries come together.

Cons

None I can think of.
