Great people, decent product, chaotic leadership

Pros

Semrush has a cozy and friendly atmosphere rooted in its culture, and is all about people. I would genuinely love to work with most of my colleagues again in the future. Semrush had kept its horizontal structure, and distinct transparent and innovative culture long after growing out of a startup. Proud to be part of the team that has built so many cool products.

Cons

The fast-paced environment from the "Pros" above went hand in hand with chaotic processes. As a solution, layers of middle/senior management were added. This isolated communication in vertical management silos, and blocked career opportunities for long-term employees. I know too many people who quit because of that. I would recommend Semrush as a great place to work, if not for the uncertainty of an upcoming acquisition.

Dear Sender, Thank you for the feedback. We recognize that individual experiences can vary. However, micromanagement and unhealthy work dynamics are not reflective of the culture we strive to build. Sorry to hear we didn’t meet your expectations. We wish you success in your next career chapter. Yours, the Semrush Team
