Pros

The company is full of incredibly smart and ambitious people. We're selling an industry-leading platform so there is instant name recognition across our customer and prospect base. Sales has the potential to make a lot of money. Flexible/hybrid work environment is also nice. Overall I've enjoyed my experience here.

Cons

The company is in a period of change, so it's not for everyone. As with any company, change is constant and communication could improve. There are several new leaders at the company who are working to improve this, but winning back trust through transparency doesn't happen overnight and will ultimately come down to consistency over time. Direction of what we're supposed to be doing is becoming clearer, but with lots of change, there can still be some confusion.

Pros

Semrush is constantly changing, which provides lots of opportunities to try new things and grow.

Cons

I've been at the company for over a year and have seen no COLA or raises, despite being promised raises every 6 months when I was hired. Upward mobility is also extremely team dependent, and not guaranteed.

Dear colleague, Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with us. We’re really committed to making our workplace the best it can be, and your feedback is crucial in helping us improve. We noticed you’re not too happy with the salary review process, and we’re sorry to hear that. It seems there might be a bit of a misunderstanding. The process and its structure were actually changed and communicated to all employees over a year ago. If you happen to miss that info, we strongly encourage you to chat with your manager or get in touch with our HR team to discuss any concerns you might have. Once again, thanks a lot for your feedback. We hope this clears things up a bit, and we’re here to help with anything you need. Yours, the Semrush Team
