Great benefits, but not a good place for parents

Pros

Great benefits. Hobby benefit (books in my case) is great.

Cons

Processes are a mess. People tend to say 1-2 years here and there is a lot of legacy code some Russian developers wrote, but documentation is bad. If you have little kids this is not the best place to be. You will.have to fight some managers and PMs not to have meetings in the middle of the time you need to pick up your kids or give them lunch. Since people spends so little time, the company is run by HR. I never had so many meetings with HR in my life.

Dear Colleague, Thank you for your review. You’re spot on—our team members are our biggest asset, and we really value each and every one of them. Regarding our processes, it’s understandable that they may not suit everyone’s preferences. We all have different needs and perspectives. As for our working hours, they are part of our official policy concerning mandatory attendance times. During these periods, we schedule meetings and expect timely responses to emails/messages. This expectation is communicated clearly to all new team members from the outset. However, we are open to discussing and accommodating individual circumstances whenever possible. Once again, thank you for your feedback. Yours, the Semrush Team

Pros

Flexible working, competitive pay, truly unique benefits for staff and a leadership driving change and innovation in a gem of a company. The company has a lot of space to grow and at all levels you can tangibly drive that growth. Anyone who worked in big-tech pre covid knows how valuable the work culture is here, and the occasional high pressure moments are more than worth it. Moving here was my best career choice to date.

Cons

There is a friction between legacy staff who like things “as they are” and newer employees who’ve seen other environments and can bring fresh perspective but generally are not empowered to do so. It’s a good challenge of identity vs progress that most companies experience at this stage, but it is a big challenge.
