Terrible Company for Sales

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good product. Used to be a fun environment

Cons

They are a product-centric company with zero regard or respect for sales people. Changes quota sometimes every month with larger and larger targets and smaller and smaller payouts. Either you hit the new targets or you are gone. Even if you consistently hit targets, you be gone at the whim of upper management when they decide to have another mass layoff in hopes of extracting another 5% to the share price. Terrible place to work

Dear Sender, Thank you for your input. We've indeed strategically shifted our focus to a more product-centric or, let's say, business-oriented approach. And it's true—we expect the Sales team to meet their targets, though we understand that not everyone may achieve this, which is normal in business. We want to assure you that there's no room for disrespectful behavior towards our employees in our company. Our team strives to offer competitive compensation, benefits, and a positive atmosphere. Best of luck with your future endeavours. Yours, the Semrush Team

Great work life balance, tech company with fast speed

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working environment is the best I've ever had, pay is over competitive and the other benefits are amazing, like hobby benefit, flexible hours, flexible location, unlimited holidays. Culture is fast, you can grow somehow quickly if you do your work. Great people and a great product we can feel proud of contributing towards.

Cons

Some internal processes are very hierarchical slowing things down. Some roles are duplicated, creating differences in how much work some departments have against how little others seem to have. Remote work makes connections more difficult.
