Pros

Great colleagues and Semrush as a tool is nice.

Cons

Was stuck with a terrible micromanager who seemed to have been getting slapped in the wrists by her boss and putting all her stress on me. Semrush is a Russian company, so management works nonstop until the break of dawn to micromanage their employees. I had the worst time in my career in this role.
