      Pros

      SEO experience, access to SEO tools, refurbished employee laptops, unlimited PTO

      Cons

      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.

      Dear Colleague, Thank you for the feedback. Compensation plans may change, and we communicate clearly that it might happen quarterly. Truly, working in Sales is always about plans, reaching goals, and KPIs. It could be stressful, but we care about people and do our best to reduce these stress factors by providing clear expectations, being open about possible changes, and so on. We’re saddened you were disappointed by your experience with us. Yours, the Semrush Team

      Pros

      Great Company and Team. Thorough onboarding process. Compensation met expectations, and I'm genuinely happy to be contributing to what we're building together.

      Cons

      The Adobe Acquisition made for some chaotic moments but management has been very transparent and got everyone through the process. I would say Semrush is above average to excellent for a mid-size SaaS company.

      Pros

      I'm only a month in, but the onboarding experience has been great! I've never had such a thorough onboarding experience before. My manager and director are experienced in enterprise BDR work and offer really great insights even beyond just coaching. They put data in front of us to show what success looks like. The team is always willing to answer questions and help out. The compensation is really competitive with the ability to make 6 figures with commissions. Semrush also just got acquired by Adobe, so there is a lot of excitement around that and what it will mean for the team. The office has catered lunch on Wednesdays, but they also stock snacks, so you never have to be hungry in the office.

      Cons

      New team and vertical means that they are building everything from the ground up, including onboarding motions for Enterprise BDRs specifically. Not necessarily
