Pros

Nice people in the US office

Cons

Where do I begin? There are too many to count. - Very low and poor compensation compared to the market. Be prepared to be underpaid by 50% below the market wage. - US employees are constantly on edge from being overworked and underpaid. People were quitting left and right. Average tenure of US managers was around 8 months. - Russian leadership does not trust US employees. Russian employees treat their US counterparts very rudely and abrasively. - Russian micro managers will micromanage the HELL out of you. - No US developers. All developers are based out of the Russian office and are very bad at communication. - Be prepared to be talked down at by people from the Russian office. Be prepared to handle constant rude behaviour. - No upward mobility unless your friends with the people in the Russian office - Some product documentation is documented in Russian which is a huge pain.

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.

Dear Sender, We're sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations. We recognize that developing and scaling a successful channel program comes with challenges, which is why we invest in hiring experienced specialists for these roles. As with any performance-driven position, managers may ask questions, provide guidance, and regularly review progress to help teams stay aligned with business goals. We understand that these interactions can be perceived differently depending on individual experiences. We appreciate your perspective and wish you all the best in your future career. Yours, the Semrush Team
