Pros

Teams collaborate openly and have a strong bias towards action. It's been motivating to be in this type of environment. Almost all of our work is given clear deliverables and targets. From top level objectives to team goals to IC north stars. As a manager, knowing whether or not you're successful is much appreciated. I've been able to drive my team forward because of it. Also, there's no shying away from the problems. Our work is always a work in progress and I've felt strongly that the teams and leadership are bought into that mindset.

Cons

Company is growing and making lots of changes, so there are some pains there associated with finding the right process (though somewhat expected).

Dear Colleague, Thank you for the feedback. We never tire of emphasizing the importance of mentioning not only the pros, but also the cons. The US CS Team is not very large, and the opportunities for rapid growth may be somewhat limited there. However, we are doing our best by organizing growth feedback sessions with managers and providing educational courses. An annual salary review is an essential part of our internal processes. In brief, it ultimately depends on individuals. If they are eager to grow and develop their skills, they can certainly find plenty of opportunities within the company. We hope you will find your best path to grow with us. We are always here to help. Yours, Semrush Team
