Pros

Great place to get experience, good to start or transition careers. Friendly, wicked smart colleagues, flexible work environment. In person, hybrid and remote options, good benefits. Product has a good reputation.

Cons

Instability. Structure, pay and procedures change all the time without notice or agreement. Company says it’s part of a culture of constant change but it’s way beyond product innovation, it’s a continuous rushed pace that leads to a very messy operation. Everyone looks ultra busy while spitting out meaningless metrics, moving too fast to show the incompetence. Uneven workloads/poor pay. Some people are quiet quitting or doing side gigs while others work much harder or feel pressured to take on extra work. Pay isn’t always fair across departments. Pay in the US is below average, not at all competitive. Poor career development options. They rarely promote internally so not only there’s hidden low morale, you also end up with outside hires who are decision makers/managers with little knowledge of product and processes. Weak HR. HR evaluations have no purpose. HR sends all employee issues back to management, there are no checks and balances between HR and leadership, so leadership can make or break a department. And aside from a few exceptions, most of leadership is also weak, maybe due to low pay. Wasteful culture. Money is wasted due to lack of collaboration and poor communication. Also money wasted with people being paid to do busy work or nonsense that brings no value to the company or the customers.

Dear Sender, Thank you for your review. Let’s clear a few things up to make sure everyone’s on the same page. First off, about the changes: Our company’s growing fast, so some adjustments are inevitable. We get that it might not suit everyone, but it’s an integral part of our culture around here. Keeping everyone in the loop is key, so thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’ll definitely take your suggestion on board to keep things transparent company-wide. Next up, payments: We’re always keeping an eye on the job market and tweaking pay rates as needed. And as for career opportunities: Yeah, we’ve got lots of room for growth internally, but we’re also open to fresh faces with outside experience. This year, we introduced new company-wide career frameworks, a testament to the hard work of our HR team. They’re not just about gathering feedback; they’re all about helping you grow and make the most of your time here. Your honest feedback means a lot, no matter what it’s about. Wishing you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. Yours, the Semrush Team
