Diving into the world of Semrush lately feels like navigating through a storm without a compass. The vibe has shifted dramatically, and if you take a peek at Glassdoor or just chat around internally, you'll see a sea of negative reviews. It's pretty telling that after the leadership caught wind of this, there suddenly appeared a flood of glowing reviews. Seems like they're trying to paint over the cracks, but it's not fooling anyone. With the job market being as tight as it is, it's no wonder that practically everyone's on the lookout for a new gig. But, finding something better is turning out to be a real headache, which just adds to the frustration of being stuck in a place that's lost its shine. For those just joining, expect to hit the ground stumbling. The system's a mess, communication's all over the place, and figuring out how to succeed feels like solving a puzzle with half the pieces missing. And let's not even get started on the turnover at the top—sales leaders are in and out so fast it'll make your head spin. Everyone's running on empty. Commissions are a guessing game, your accounts might as well have a revolving door, and don't get me started on segmentation—it's a joke. They're pushing us to sell bundles that make no sense for our clients, cooked up by folks who clearly don't get the front line. Speaking up feels like talking to a wall, and the 'or else' attitude isn't exactly motivating. The lack of clear direction, support, or even a sense of stability makes it feel like we're all just treading water, waiting for the next wave to hit. Rumor has it more layoffs are on the horizon, and with the CEO questioning the need for a sales team at all, it's like the writing's on the wall. So, if you're thinking of jumping ship to Semrush, maybe think again. If you're in a tight spot, sure, it might do for now—but keep that resume polished and your options open. From the looks of it, settling in for the long haul here isn't just risky; it's a leap into the unknown with no safety net.

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

Inconvénients

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.
