Pros

Teammates were very helpful and nice to work with.

Cons

Management over the content department went through leadership changes almost 2 weeks into the new role. In only 4 months of being there , my supposed to be manager (who never once took the time to get to know me as a new member of her team and other than onboarding, never had a 1:1 meeting or chat with me) decided I wasn't worth her time. I can go into all of the work and extensive training I did with them, but to keep it short, any time she did schedule a meeting, it was only to give lengthy and harsh feedback to a very short work time. You don't ever want to work for a place where your manager(s) don't even care about you. In 15 years of work experience, this one was by far the worst.

Dear Sender, Thanks for your review. The onboarding period at Semrush can be intensive as the onboarding process typically runs in sequence with the usual work processes. We do work hard, and during this time there is extra effort put in not by just our new hire, but their teammate and manager as well. All employees here are expected to be working in the same direction from day 1 in the company. But we strive to be as honest as possible during all feedback sessions with our new employees as we believe it is critical for their growth and development. We regret you found it harsh. We’re also sorry we didn’t meet your expectations. We wish nothing but the best for you in finding an employer who will be a perfect match for you. Yours, Semrush Team

Pros

fast paced environment, some smart people, you can learn know how about the search Giant, if in luck you can develop your core skills and add some lines to your CV.

Cons

hard to believe (here) but some overseas pay was being done through e wallets meaning no tax. US office and its president is a joke, Cyprus is a gimmick. agile is one way only. everything and all is decided in Russia by a handful of people, maybe just one - Oleg is charismatic and convincing but actually deceiving, after leaving I learned about his scouts looking to sell the business in the US. high turnover hinders efficient continuity. its all kinda risky to bet your career

Pros

Was great 2 years ago

Cons

My job was "eliminated" in March, laying off several highly productive team members in this process. The rationale was that this role was eliminated in an effort to focus sales upmarket. Fast forward 2 months, now they are rehiring for the same role. Very convenient that there's been an influx of positive reviews lately.

Dear Sender, We’re sorry you had a negative experience with us. It was never our intention to leave you feeling this way. Regarding the situation you mentioned, the explanation provided to you was accurate. However, you should know that after some time, we promoted some of the colleagues who left to work with the SMB segment, which has a strict team size limit. This created a need to find replacements for those positions. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Yours, the Semrush Team
