CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote, unlimited PTO, strong brand, useful valid product

Cons

Privacy violation ( a former employee left also because he/she wasn’t granted a salary increase and this person was pissed off since he/she became aware of my yearly salary blathered by someone internally!!!) Lack of organisation, toxic aggressive management with zero or low experience as managers, humiliating attitude,no proper training for managers, no proper effective fees, no proper onboarding for new hires (just a google sheet filled with links to read),word harassment, patronising attitude from the management, constant unclarity on projects (you loose you time amending your work constantly with no meaning) , toxic workload, 10 pm requests for changes, presentations and data. Weekend encouraged extra workload if you haven’t managed during the week. Not inclusive: many internal docs and tools are still in Russian (Semrush it’s a former Russian startup) now listed in the US but many employees are Russians or Russian speakers! You really feel lack of inclusivity. High turnover, mandatory NDA if they fire you out of the blue (it happened to a professional I know). I literally left running! I was ver sad and overwhelmed by this toxic experience
