Semrush Reviews

Your monthly quota resets every month. You can go from being a top performer rock star one month to being put on a Performance Plan the next. People have been quickly and consistently getting fired since I started working at SEMrush 2 years ago. Worrying if you’ll still have your job every month is not healthy. This place has horribly unrealistic expectations of its salespeople. It’s terrible on mental health and everyone seems stressed out and miserable. It can also take a long time to credit on a sale you made to get approved (merges) so half the time you don’t even know at the end of the month if you’ve hit your quota or not. Then when you do it doesn’t even matter or last long. As you go straight back to zero the next month. Salesforce & Slack are a mess.

Diving into the world of Semrush lately feels like navigating through a storm without a compass. The vibe has shifted dramatically, and if you take a peek at Glassdoor or just chat around internally, you'll see a sea of negative reviews. It's pretty telling that after the leadership caught wind of this, there suddenly appeared a flood of glowing reviews. Seems like they're trying to paint over the cracks, but it's not fooling anyone. With the job market being as tight as it is, it's no wonder that practically everyone's on the lookout for a new gig. But, finding something better is turning out to be a real headache, which just adds to the frustration of being stuck in a place that's lost its shine. For those just joining, expect to hit the ground stumbling. The system's a mess, communication's all over the place, and figuring out how to succeed feels like solving a puzzle with half the pieces missing. And let's not even get started on the turnover at the top—sales leaders are in and out so fast it'll make your head spin. Everyone's running on empty. Commissions are a guessing game, your accounts might as well have a revolving door, and don't get me started on segmentation—it's a joke. They're pushing us to sell bundles that make no sense for our clients, cooked up by folks who clearly don't get the front line. Speaking up feels like talking to a wall, and the 'or else' attitude isn't exactly motivating. The lack of clear direction, support, or even a sense of stability makes it feel like we're all just treading water, waiting for the next wave to hit. Rumor has it more layoffs are on the horizon, and with the CEO questioning the need for a sales team at all, it's like the writing's on the wall. So, if you're thinking of jumping ship to Semrush, maybe think again. If you're in a tight spot, sure, it might do for now—but keep that resume polished and your options open. From the looks of it, settling in for the long haul here isn't just risky; it's a leap into the unknown with no safety net.
