Pros

The people that are in the US offices are great friends and awesome to work with.

Cons

I worked here and I can tell from these comments and the recent dates that these are all BS just to get their rankings up. You can tell by the dates and all the same locations....I mean that makes sense though since that is what SEMrush "overseas" truly cares about. There is no such thing as company values, company culture, growth opportunities, career development talks or anything. Don't even waste your time because if you don't have a "title" you don't mean anything. Leadership, which does not include just the chief executives but all of the puppeteers over in the Russia office do not care for anyone in the US office. Which is actually sad to say. They make this very clear as they do not include the US employees in meetings, decision, or anything at that point. If you doing get the privileged to attend something of value, your "colleagues" overseas and the Leadership have a tendency of putting you down or laughing in your face and they will literally talk Russian during meetings, in the hallways, and right in front of your face. Knowing that they are pointing, smirking and talking about you. Multiple times during your work day the employees get a sense of "what am I doing wrong", "I don't get it", "am I going to get fired"...it's extremely frustrating and then you realize that the offices oversea want you to feel this way. They have the CEO in their pockets and say it is a U.S. based company but the everything is still happening overseas. The turn over is ridiculous and now that I am out, I would not recommend the experience to anyone.

Pros

None, get ready to be micro managed and have unobtainable quotas.

Cons

Management is clueless on how to run a channel program. US team is run like a college frat with condescending management. No official PIP, they will invite you to a meeting with HR and fire you.
