Strong team and solid onboarding despite chaos from acquisition

Pros

Great Company and Team. Thorough onboarding process. Compensation met expectations, and I'm genuinely happy to be contributing to what we're building together.

Cons

The Adobe Acquisition made for some chaotic moments but management has been very transparent and got everyone through the process. I would say Semrush is above average to excellent for a mid-size SaaS company.
