Good as a starter job, then run

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

In-office and remote job opportunities, great non-management coworkers. Solid product and brand. The culture used to be better a year or two ago.

Cons

Toxic management (both mid- and C-level) that has no vision, enforces constant false urgency, and explains own poor planning and irrational requests with “wrong” execution. No people management skills whatsoever, all they care about is reporting good news to the higher level. No matter how much you try, you’ll never be acknowledged or praised for it. Performance reviews are meant to tear you apart, not give positive feedback. You won’t have the desire or time for career development and further training. Absolutely useless HR. You won’t know they exist until it’s time for layoffs. They will let you go in the most dry and indifferent way and you won’t hear a single thank you. The pay is lower than you’d expect and the benefits are scarce. They seem to be losing more and more good people.

Remote work. Good suite of software to use and some nice people in the company.

Dear Colleague, The phrase "mass layoffs" made us puzzled, as we haven’t had any in our company. However, we appreciate your feedback and advice. We will take it into consideration for our future improvements. Yours, the Semrush Team
