      Worst experience in 10+ years in the industry

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Modern office, nothing extra, but looks good, with a coffee machine, snacks, etc. - Of course, there were good, nice people too.

      Cons

      - Fired in one day, without explanation - when I asked, what the reasons, they said "all very bad" and what I'm not focused enough - But I have a minor mental disorder and which I mentioned before getting hired on the final interview call with the team. - And I completed all the assigned tasks on time - CTO said what they will send me a full description of reasons, an explanation and a feedback - No one sent anything, even after I asked a couple of times. Total ghosting - But they locked my working mac remotely within an hour - then the humiliating extraction of personal files from a locked mac in the security department - Most of the team members were arrogant, but the PM was also toxic, using phrases like, "I'm not pressuring you" when in fact he was pressuring me in personal calls. - So their DEI, "we are not a company, but a family", "friendly team" - it's all a lie, people are just numbers for them. - Office - toxic positivity messed with casual toxicity, arrogance and paranoia - A lot of bureaucracy related to goals of the team, teamwork itself, equipment, internal courses, etc. - Totally unproductive workflow: as software engineer I spent an average 8-12 hours per week for team and internal courses calls, up to 21 hours of top record. - And the salary is below the market average

      Dear Sender, We understand that parting ways with an employer is not always a pleasant event. Emotions at such a moment do not always allow an accurate reflection of what is really happening. We wish you the best of luck on your further journey! Yours, the Semrush Team

      Just Don’t Do It

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good product with a name people know. The brand recognition is the only redeeming factor of working on the sales team here. They flew us out to Dallas for SKO.

      Cons

      10% on average hit quota in Mid-market and their fix is to introduce quarterly quotas. Mid-market is losing people faster than it can bring in. Benefits are poor compared to most other comparable SaaS companies. Don’t expect an ESPP, home office set-up allowance (was $200 but they dumped that), or anything outside of insurance and 401k. They offer unlimited PTO but no quota relief at all. They used to give us 25% off a months quota once a year when we used PTO to encourage us to take a break, guess what… that’s also gone. 1 inbound lead a month, let’s hope it’s not someone asking for support. They conducted one of those “anonymous” Best Place to Work surveys and our manager confronted us about the results and why we answered the way we did. Closed multiple offices on the east coast in the last year Just don’t work here. Wait for a better sales org to come your way. Seriously don’t do it.

      Dear Colleague, Thank you for your feedback. However, we would like to clarify a few points: - Competitive benefits. We offer a very competitive benefits package and continuously monitor new market trends to implement them within the company. While it’s impossible to satisfy everyone, we strive to meet the needs of all our employees. - Best Place to Work survey. This survey is conducted by an external platform, and we had no ability to control or influence employees’ responses. The survey was carried out fairly and delivered excellent results: 76% of employees consider Semrush the best place to work. - Office closures. We occasionally close offices, but please note that we provide employees with the flexibility to work from home-something not every company can offer today. - Quotas and growth. We are confident in our plans and continue to achieve steady business growth. We understand this may not suit everyone, but growth remains one of our key business priorities. If you need additional support or have more feedback to share, please reach out to your HR. We truly believe that together we can make your experience at the company as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. Yours, the Semrush Team
