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.

Dear Sender, Thank you for mentioning a lot of positive things in your review, we appreciate it! However, we are sad about your negative thoughts. We believe that in SEMrush we always recognize all achievements of our employees and don’t underestimate their hard work whenever these employees are. Regarding the termination process - we always tried to find the best way on how to part ways and keep good relationships with all ex-employees. We discuss and inform each employee about the steps and reasons to ensure that they have all the necessary information and understand our position. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback!
