Pros

In-office and remote job opportunities, great non-management coworkers. Solid product and brand. The culture used to be better a year or two ago.

Cons

Toxic management (both mid- and C-level) that has no vision, enforces constant false urgency, and explains own poor planning and irrational requests with “wrong” execution. No people management skills whatsoever, all they care about is reporting good news to the higher level. No matter how much you try, you’ll never be acknowledged or praised for it. Performance reviews are meant to tear you apart, not give positive feedback. You won’t have the desire or time for career development and further training. Absolutely useless HR. You won’t know they exist until it’s time for layoffs. They will let you go in the most dry and indifferent way and you won’t hear a single thank you. The pay is lower than you’d expect and the benefits are scarce. They seem to be losing more and more good people.

Pros

Great people. You would make lots of good friends. The best part is to make lots of great connections inside and outside of work

Cons

Upper doesn't have an idea of what direction to follow to achieve long-term goals. The sales and CS organisation goes through changes every 2 quarters and would blame employees not to achive goals and targets.

Dear Sender, Thank you for highlighting what is truly the company's greatest asset—its people. We completely agree that our employees are our most valuable strength. As for the company's long-term direction, it remains firmly in place, and without it, we would not be where we are today. We’re sorry to hear that your expectations were different. That said, we're grateful for the impact you made during your time with us and for your contributions to the company. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Yours, the Semrush Team
