      Underpaid, poor management

      Sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote work is enjoyable, easy to access other employers and the coworkers are all close.

      Cons

      Paid the bare minimum and the pay structure is inconsistent each month with changes being brought to us. Over worked and underpaid. This company has a very high turnover rate because no one is happy with what they are paid and it is unlivable. Management does not seem to care when you express your needs for better pay and continues to find loop holes.

      Dear Sender, It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the work environment at Semrush! Let us provide comments regarding the cons that you mentioned. We’re sorry to hear you did not feel that you were given enough leads. Our managers are always willing to work with their teams if they are coming across any challenges within their roles. They also provide all of our SDRs with a highly structured and in-depth training program, in addition to the competitive compensation. Anyway, thank you for your feedback. We wish you all the best! Yours, Semrush Team.

      Fake 5 Star reviews. Do yourself a favor and don’t take a job here

      Pros

      Nice people in the US office

      Cons

      Where do I begin? There are too many to count. - Very low and poor compensation compared to the market. Be prepared to be underpaid by 50% below the market wage. - US employees are constantly on edge from being overworked and underpaid. People were quitting left and right. Average tenure of US managers was around 8 months. - Russian leadership does not trust US employees. Russian employees treat their US counterparts very rudely and abrasively. - Russian micro managers will micromanage the HELL out of you. - No US developers. All developers are based out of the Russian office and are very bad at communication. - Be prepared to be talked down at by people from the Russian office. Be prepared to handle constant rude behaviour. - No upward mobility unless your friends with the people in the Russian office - Some product documentation is documented in Russian which is a huge pain.
