Pros

Smart and helpful peers, flexibility, comp

Cons

We still do not have our quota for the month of January 2 weeks into the month. We’re going through the second shuffling of our accounts to occur in the last 6 months. Our paths to promotion are non existent. All positions are being filled by outside hires. There are huge pay discrepancies of people who are at the same level in the same role.

Dear Colleague, Career development opportunities were presented to the entire Sales team in Q4. All the criteria were explained, and the future steps were described in detail. We also mentioned that we would be moving forward with this strategy starting from Q1, and so we do. It's fair to mention that we have plenty of vertical and horizontal opportunities to grow within the company. Regarding compensation, the shift from the Sales band model to the Segmented sales model took place in July 2023. We are still in the process of adapting it to the presence of employees in 20+ markets. Thank you for the feedback. We will take your ideas and concerns into consideration for future improvements! Yours, the Semrush Team

Pros

The product is an industry leader, making it exciting to work on. The teams are filled with incredibly smart, creative, and collaborative people. Benefits and remote flexibility are solid, and there are good opportunities to learn SEO and digital marketing deeply.

Cons

The work culture can occasionally lean toward working harder than playing hard especially as the company scales.
