Pros

Moderate salaries for professionals and higher salaries for some.

Cons

It depends on your department and team, but overall, the opportunities for growth at Semrush are limited. There are too many HR personnel who don't prioritise employee well-being.

Dear Colleague, Thank you for your feedback! We were surprised to see the concerns about growth limitations and low priority for employee well-being. The HR team has been working hard on these two areas for many years, and they remain our top priorities. Recently, we launched a new growth program, updated the performance evaluation process, and announced new benefits. We’ll continue to build on this. If you have any specific ideas or concerns, we’d be happy to discuss them! Please feel free to reach out to the HR team. Yours, the Semrush Team

Competitive salary with a manageable workload. The work environment isn't overly high-pressure, allowing for a good work-life balance.

Cons

Lack of transparency and recognition for efforts. Feedback is minimal, and the company feels somewhat immature in its development.
