Pros

The only positive was the company culture.

Cons

There is no sense of direction. No leadership, guidance, and there is a toxic board of "directors".

Dear Sender, we are sorry you haven’t fully enjoyed working with Semrush. To be entirely honest, such a negative feedback on our leaders and leadership in general is a big surprise for us. All Semrush employees have an opportunity to visit the Company Demo on a quarterly basis in order to understand the Company’s goals, results, and future direction. Also, all Semrush employees are encouraged to ask any leader about anything directly. Even though we have a big variety of guidances and systems, we always try to keep the atmosphere of freedom, because our business is creativity, not routine. However, we do understand it does not have to work effectively for everyone. Once again, we regret any inconvenience you experienced. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at hr@semrush.com
