Pros

The only "pro" this place offers is they offer the ability to work remote.

Cons

In my personal opinion, Semrush was one of the most chaotic and demoralizing workplaces I’ve ever experienced. It presents a polished image, but inside, it felt like constant disorder — shifting priorities, unclear direction, and leadership that created more confusion than clarity. Every day felt like reacting to panic instead of following any real strategy. The culture, in my view, operated on instability. Nothing stayed consistent, communication felt scattered, and the environment seemed fueled by fabricated urgency and ego rather than competence. It was draining, not motivating. The revolving door of sales reps was impossible to ignore. Turnover felt nonstop, and onboarding support was, in my opinion, basically nonexistent. New hires were dropped into chaos with no guidance, no structure, and no real help — just pressure. As for Mid-Market "leadership", my personal experience was that it was the most draining and demoralizing group I’ve ever reported into. The leadership style felt driven by fear and threats, not competence or clarity. It created an atmosphere where people didn’t develop — they just tried to survive. In my view, Semrush is not a stable or supportive place to build a career. The mental toll far outweighed any benefit. Would NOT recommend

Dear Sender, We recognize that evolving teams and sales segments can create periods of adjustment for both individual contributors and leaders. While experiences can vary, we were surprised to see our leadership style described as fear-based, as this does not reflect our values or leadership standards at Semrush. Our leadership team has shifted focus to prioritize transparency, clarify objectives, and drive momentum through ownership and accountability. Decisions are guided by defined goals and measured against KPIs to ensure that changes are strategic and purposeful. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we wish you the best in your career journey. Yours, the Semrush Team

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.
