Dear Colleague, Thank you for the feedback. We never tire of emphasizing the importance of mentioning not only the pros, but also the cons. The US CS Team is not very large, and the opportunities for rapid growth may be somewhat limited there. However, we are doing our best by organizing growth feedback sessions with managers and providing educational courses. An annual salary review is an essential part of our internal processes. In brief, it ultimately depends on individuals. If they are eager to grow and develop their skills, they can certainly find plenty of opportunities within the company. We hope you will find your best path to grow with us. We are always here to help. Yours, Semrush Team

Pros

Remote, unlimited PTO, strong brand, useful valid product

Cons

Privacy violation ( a former employee left also because he/she wasn’t granted a salary increase and this person was pissed off since he/she became aware of my yearly salary blathered by someone internally!!!) Lack of organisation, toxic aggressive management with zero or low experience as managers, humiliating attitude,no proper training for managers, no proper effective fees, no proper onboarding for new hires (just a google sheet filled with links to read),word harassment, patronising attitude from the management, constant unclarity on projects (you loose you time amending your work constantly with no meaning) , toxic workload, 10 pm requests for changes, presentations and data. Weekend encouraged extra workload if you haven’t managed during the week. Not inclusive: many internal docs and tools are still in Russian (Semrush it’s a former Russian startup) now listed in the US but many employees are Russians or Russian speakers! You really feel lack of inclusivity. High turnover, mandatory NDA if they fire you out of the blue (it happened to a professional I know). I literally left running! I was ver sad and overwhelmed by this toxic experience

Dear Sender, It’s disheartening to read such reviews, and we’re sorry that you had such an experience while working with us. We can assure you that all salary reviews are based on performance. Our managers regularly conduct feedback meetings and are always open to receiving feedback in return. When it comes to confidentiality: it goes without saying that it’s absolutely compulsory. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are currently our top priorities, and we are diligently working in this direction. The same applies to our onboarding process – we recognize that it can be improved, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Such detailed feedback is of the highest value to us. Let’s remain on friendly terms no matter what. Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors! Yours, Semrush Team
