Dear Sender, Thank you for mentioning a lot of positive things in your review, we appreciate it! However, we are sad about your negative thoughts. We believe that in SEMrush we always recognize all achievements of our employees and don’t underestimate their hard work whenever these employees are. Regarding the termination process - we always tried to find the best way on how to part ways and keep good relationships with all ex-employees. We discuss and inform each employee about the steps and reasons to ensure that they have all the necessary information and understand our position. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback!
