Nice company, but has its internal issues

Pros

Semrush gives possibilities, supports the initiative to get new skills, learn, take opportunities. There's a lot of flexibility in processes. Easy to move from one team to another.

Cons

Process of salary increases is not transparent at all. HRs will lie to you looking in the eyes. There's very different 'truth' for different employees. Semrush used to be a company with great corporate culture, open to each employee's opinion, giving growth possibilities. Now it's turning to strict hierarchy, and giving feedback becomes a problem. People get fired in one day.
