Pros

You work with great people and the unlimited PTO is a nice perk with WFH options.

Cons

Poor management, low pay, and a terrible work-life balance define the experience here. Expect constant harassment from both users and coworkers, driven by absurd and counterproductive policies. Middle management is overcrowded with people who are rude, dismissive, and seem more interested in justifying their positions than supporting the team. Getting anything done requires navigating unnecessary bureaucracy, and once delays inevitably occur, the same managers are quick to penalize you for falling behind. The onboarding process is practically useless—disorganized and lacking in real-world relevance—leaving you to figure things out on your own. Worse, you'll end up training new hires yourself, while still trying to manage your own workload. Performance is judged not only individually but as a team, so if one person slips, everyone gets dragged down and punished for it.

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
