Pros

Semrush's product is fairly good and competitive.

Cons

The sales management team lack awareness of how to motivate, pay and compensate as well as organize their accounts. I was hired away from another enterprise company and had 10 years constant success. Suddenly here I am a failure? Same situation with almost every new sales hire I met brought into semrush the last 18 months. What does that tell you? We can't all suck this bad...

Dear Colleague, We appreciate your feedback. From the very beginning, we are transparent with candidates about our high expectations, and this is not a matter of management motivation. Semrush continues to grow by 20% year over year, which reflects the strong performance of our Sales team. At the same time, we recognize that our environment is not the right fit for everyone and that achieving goals here can be challenging. That is why we are continuously refining our hiring process and candidate profile to ensure better alignment. Yours, the Semrush Team
