      Full Stack Developer Interview

      16 Sept 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Belgrade, Central Serbia
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      First interview is with the recruiter. Surprisingly I was only asked technical question for some reason. The recruiter did not even understand what they were asking. They just had a list of questions and answers in front of them and blindly asked questions that they couldn't comprehend. Even though I answered all the technical questions correctly (they were easy questions) and even though the recruiter told me I did great, I got an email one week later telling me that they decided to proceed with someone with more experience. They did not even bother to do the actual technical interview or to send me the test, which is VERY strange, because I am damn good at what I do and I am very confident I would have done great at their test. I assume that they also proceeded with technical questions during the introductory interview, is because they did not want me to prepare, so that it would be easier to "discard" me. But maybe I am wrong about this last part. However, 1 month later, the job posting is still open and it is actively being promoted on job advertisement sites. The interesting thing to note, is that the job posting is written in Russian in a lot of sites. The manager and head of department are both Russian. Potential team members (in the same department/team) located in NON-Russian countries were ALSO Russian. The recruiter that interviewed me was also Russian. I see so many comments also saying that this is a Russian company. The only logical explanation is that this company is not an equal opportunity employer like they advertise and they only want to hire Russians. They could have spared me my time and not waste it since their goal is to find only Russians. This is not the only company that does it. I hope some day this discrimination/racism will be over, especially in my own country.

      Dear Sender, thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry you’ve had a negative experience with us. We get a lot of CVs from outstanding professionals, and the competition is usually very high. Sometimes it happens that we refuse even those who are doing great during the first meeting. Please stay assured that the nationality factor doesn’t play a role in our decision to proceed with candidates. That’s not how we operate. It is true that we have Russian employees, but among 1000+ colleagues that currently work for Semrush there’re over 30 other nationalities. We welcome members with diverse experiences and from various backgrounds. Let’s stay friends, and try to meet once again in case you will find another suitable role on our Career Page. Yours, Semrush Team.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush in Jun 2024

      Interview

      The first interview with People was as expected except for the fact that the interviewer did not allow me to make any question. The second, technical interview lasted more than one hour and I was asked some questions not related with the position, neither the technological tools or the tasks described in the job.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Semrush in Apr 2024

      Interview

      The first interview with HR consisted in general questions about my CV. The problem was that the slot for 30 minutes was reduced by the HR person to 10 minutes in which he asked all the questions and did not allow me to ask him any question. It was like a police interrogation.
