- 5.0FEATURED REVIEW21 Apr 2023HR Brand SpecialistCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearTrevose, PA
Pros
- Autonomy to do my job without interruption - Lots of people to help you - Friendly, welcoming, and warm culture - Good benefits, good compensation - Ability to choose WFH or Office (depending on position) - International environment, you're exposed to lots of different people from different places - AMAZING team, awesome people, and wonderful environment. At Semrush, I feel trusted to do my job, which is the biggest benefit for me. The people I interact with on a daily basis, both inside and outside of my direct team, are incredibly hard workers who strive to do their best. We collaborate together efficiently while having a great time doing it. Over my career, I worked at several toxic workplaces. It was a nonstop fight for trust and autonomy, let alone sanity. But here, it's the opposite - I've never had to worry about that. Everything I do feels right and appreciated, and I felt like a real part of the team almost immediately. Overall, I feel supported in every way. Do yourself a favor, and work here if you're looking to be appreciated, trusted, and challenged.
Cons
As you read in my pros, I don't have anything negative to say. - I'm remote, so my environment is a bit lonely at times (not a huge deal, since I can go into one of our offices as it's nearby) - I work with an international team, so the hours overlap don't always line up perfectly and don't get to see them often (in-person)

Pros
Fully remote, flexibility. Fair pay
Cons
Literally working with Russians all day, 80% of the company is Russian, no joke. Cultural clash , constant aggressions , and more
4Semrush Response2moDear Colleague, Thank you for the review. Our team is very diverse, and our colleagues come from various countries, including Russia. We сare about embracing the international environment and strive to create an atmosphere that is comfortable for everyone. The HR survey is an integral part of these efforts.

Due to the size of the company and its various locations sometimes it's hard to achieve a consistent culture across different teams

Pros
SEMrush has really great company culture
Cons
Too much to learn about its products :)

Pros
Semrush gives possibilities, supports the initiative to get new skills, learn, take opportunities. There's a lot of flexibility in processes. Easy to move from one team to another.
Cons
Process of salary increases is not transparent at all. HRs will lie to you looking in the eyes. There's very different 'truth' for different employees. Semrush used to be a company with great corporate culture, open to each employee's opinion, giving growth possibilities. Now it's turning to strict hierarchy, and giving feedback becomes a problem. People get fired in one day.
1Semrush Response3wDear Colleague, Thank you for sharing your experience here. It's unfortunate that you were disappointed with the process. While the company has been changing, transparency and openness continue to be our top priorities. Could you please provide more details about your case? Feel free to contact any HR representative in the company of your preference. Yours, the Semrush Team

Pros
Remote, unlimited PTO, strong brand, useful valid product
Cons
Privacy violation ( a former employee left also because he/she wasn’t granted a salary increase and this person was pissed off since he/she became aware of my yearly salary blathered by someone internally!!!) Lack of organisation, toxic aggressive management with zero or low experience as managers, humiliating attitude,no proper training for managers, no proper effective fees, no proper onboarding for new hires (just a google sheet filled with links to read),word harassment, patronising attitude from the management, constant unclarity on projects (you loose you time amending your work constantly with no meaning) , toxic workload, 10 pm requests for changes, presentations and data. Weekend encouraged extra workload if you haven’t managed during the week. Not inclusive: many internal docs and tools are still in Russian (Semrush it’s a former Russian startup) now listed in the US but many employees are Russians or Russian speakers! You really feel lack of inclusivity. High turnover, mandatory NDA if they fire you out of the blue (it happened to a professional I know). I literally left running! I was ver sad and overwhelmed by this toxic experience
13Semrush Response3moDear Sender, It’s disheartening to read such reviews, and we’re sorry that you had such an experience while working with us. We can assure you that all salary reviews are based on performance. Our managers regularly conduct feedback meetings and are always open to receiving feedback in return. When it comes to confidentiality: it goes without saying that it’s absolutely compulsory. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are currently our top priorities, and we are diligently working in this direction. The same applies to our onboarding process – we recognize that it can be improved, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Such detailed feedback is of the highest value to us. Let’s remain on friendly terms no matter what. Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors! Yours, Semrush Team
