Pros

Decent Pay. Some good people. The products are great, it's just stakeholders are consistently pulled in many different directions causing others to take the blame of ineptitude.

Cons

Was consistently sandbagged by stakeholders when it came to projects. Even after escalation, things didn't change. Zero guidance from executive teams and senior leaders leaving everyone in limbo for the last few months. Was laid off without zero warning as the economy takes a downturn as numerous companies have laid off 1000's of employees. Was called a liar by HR when referencing severance packages from other companies. The severance package offered was nowhere near in line with other companies. Not even 10% of what's being offered by Hubpsot, Meta, etc. Yet, they brag about making hundreds of millions in revenue each year.

Dear Sender, It's sad to see such a negative review about us. We’ve never tried to be Hubspot(?) since we have our own identity as Semrush. However, this point doesn't change our feelings toward your review. We always aim to ensure that employees have all the necessary tools, materials, and guidance for them to succeed here. Thanks for your feedback, we’ll pay additional attention to these processes. As for your experience with HR–we promote a culture of respect and will work internally to ensure that messages are given and received with a sense of courtesy. Wish you all the best in the future. Yours, Semrush Team.

Dear Sender, We appreciate your fairness and ability to highlight both the pros and cons of our company. What you said is true–until recently, we haven't had a career ladder for Sales, but we've started to work on optimizing this process. Additionally, the lack of career development has never influenced the salary level. So, one advantage outweighs one disadvantage, right?:) Thank you for the feedback. It helps us to become better! Yours, Semrush Team.
