      Great Place to Dip Your Toes in Digital Marketing

      Customer onboarding specialist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - When you start working here, you immediately notice the start up culture. The people are all fairly young, they hook you up with good equipment, and best of all, there is a Ping-Pong table in the Trevose office. Jokes aside, this company really has a young-tech company culture and is great for anyone trying to find an entry way in the industry and for recent college grads. - Company is rapidly growing. In the 2 years I worked here, Semrush hired many new employees, opened a Philly office, launched multiple cutting edge tools, and even went public. Semrush is definitely the top leader in SEO services and a leader in SaaS. Company Growth is definitely something you will see a lot of. It is also a fairly well known company in the industry and that might stick out to future recruiters. - The CS team is amazing. Every team will usually say that about their own but the CS team has a unique drive and culture. Everyone is supportive, helpful, friendly, and unique in their own way. The team is definitely motivated by one another because everyone works hard and as best as they can. - You will get most benefits of a start up culture here such as free snacks and coffee, individuality, holiday/company birthday parties (COVID ended these, but they may return), and more. - They really help with professional development. I learned a lot of skills here that helped me land my new role :) - Work/life balance is pretty good when you start out. The team does a great job with distributing tasks and responsibilities, so you don't get bombarded with work. It is fine if you take occasionally breaks, so long as you get your work done and numbers up.

      Cons

      - As I stated earlier, it is a great company to work for as entry level or recent college grad ( mostly if you go into CS). They state that their salary is competitive but it is quite disappointing, especially before your 90 day mark. There are some bonuses here and there, but you will get to a point where your experience, work, and skill level outweigh the salary. This is the negative side to the "start-up" culture at most new tech companies. You will receive many "gifts" in the mail such as company merch, gift baskets, and even alcohol. It gets tiring eventually and you start to question if the HR team invests more in unwanted gifts than in your bonuses and raises. - The company culture is not as good as it was before. Many companies are treating their employees very well and making sure everyone is happy even during this pandemic. But I sensed a lack of this after the company shifted to work-from-home basis. HR doesn't seem to be in your best interest as well. - Upward mobility can be difficult. It seemed to me that budget played a role in stunting my company growth. This made no sense to me as the company was going public.

      Most amazing office space I ever worked in

      Customer service specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - amazing office spirit (great view of Prague, free food, events, budget for teambuilding, boardgame nights, etc.) - great salary - HR will go above and beyond to make you feel at home (ex : relocation package, help for getting a residence permit or a flat,...)

      Cons

      - Biggest one : the lack of transparency in the customer service procedures. Many times a person would ask for something a tiny bit precise, and you would end up pingponging for days on slack between the developpers and the customer team based in Russia to get an answer.
