Pros

Smart and helpful peers, flexibility, comp

Cons

We still do not have our quota for the month of January 2 weeks into the month. We’re going through the second shuffling of our accounts to occur in the last 6 months. Our paths to promotion are non existent. All positions are being filled by outside hires. There are huge pay discrepancies of people who are at the same level in the same role.

Dear Colleague, Career development opportunities were presented to the entire Sales team in Q4. All the criteria were explained, and the future steps were described in detail. We also mentioned that we would be moving forward with this strategy starting from Q1, and so we do. It's fair to mention that we have plenty of vertical and horizontal opportunities to grow within the company. Regarding compensation, the shift from the Sales band model to the Segmented sales model took place in July 2023. We are still in the process of adapting it to the presence of employees in 20+ markets. Thank you for the feedback. We will take your ideas and concerns into consideration for future improvements! Yours, the Semrush Team

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
