Pros

Good benefits and people. Overall, the culture used to be great. Company invests in your growth.

Cons

After IPO management got more "corporate". Some decisions/changes being made feel abrupt and without a thorough research/implementation plan. Which leads to scrambling to resolve issues post factum.

Dear Sender, We appreciate your feedback. The company can’t suit everyone, and changes aren’t always comfortable. However, we’ve seen strong progress in the five years since our IPO, and the direction continues to focus on sustainable growth and long-term success. Yours, the Semrush Team

Dear Colleague, Thanks for your feedback! We were a bit surprised by your comment about language use. English is our official company language, and we use it for all formal communication. That said, since we’re an international team, colleagues sometimes chat in other languages—whatever feels most natural to them. We think that’s part of what makes our culture special! Yours, the Semrush Team
