Pros

Great culture, nice people, great office, food, benefits, MacBook Pro, great knowledge to earn.

Cons

No team buildings except office new year gathering, reduced bonuses and expenses for benefits in the most recent year, no clear career development and growth potential, no yearly salary review, it's stuck for years, and you can get 5% increase in two years which is absurd compared to the inflation rates.

Dear Sender, Thank you for your kind feedback and for rating us so highly! We really appreciate it. We’d love to address a few observations from the “cons” section to make sure others get the full picture: - Teambuildings. We’ve got plenty of opportunities to connect and have fun! Along with two big official events each year—our End-of-Year celebration in December and Company Birthday in August—we also organize monthly office events like workshops, drink tastings, video game tournaments, and more. Plus, every employee has a quarterly Teambuilding Budget to spend on outings with colleagues—whether it’s a bar hangout, museum visit, concert, or anything else you’d like. So, there’s a lot more happening than just the New Year gathering. - Bonuses for the CS Team. Our bonus structure was adjusted to increase the base pay, ensuring everyone has more stable compensation. - Performance Development. We’ve put a well-established performance development process in place. This allows us to assess employees and adjust compensation twice a year, providing clear and fair opportunities for growth. We hope this sheds more light on our processes. If you have any questions, we’re always happy to chat. You can also find more details about our benefits and processes on the Careers website. Yours, the Semrush Team

Pros

* Top-notch perks and benefits: Truly among the best. * Competitive salary and bonuses: Completely satisfied. * Outstanding team support and collaboration: Makes work seamless. * Exceptional resources: Everything needed to succeed is provided. * Amazing colleagues: Most have 3-5 years of experience as AEs—a strong indicator of a great work environment!

Cons

* Unfair or misleading lead distribution: Sometimes the system doesn’t quite meet expectations. * Significant salary gaps: Disparities exist among Senior AEs, even when holding the same role and responsibilities. * Constant pressure: The relentless demands can lead to burnout. * Increasing targets: Driven by the pressure upper management faces from investors as part of a public company. * Frequent changes: Market demands often lead to sudden adjustments, requiring quick adaptation. These challenges could be pretty standard in big corporations and come with the territory. It’s not an easy job, and it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted. But trust me—if you stick with it, it’s all worth it! :)

Dear Colleague, Thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review! We love that you pointed out both the pros and cons—it really shows you’re keeping it real. As for the cons, well, there’s a lot we could say, but at the end of the day, Semrush isn’t for everyone—and that’s okay! Like you said, though, if you stick with it, it’s totally worth it in the end. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts—we truly appreciate it! Yours, the Semrush Team
