Harassment disguised as a company - Anonymous employee Semrush Employee Review

Pros

-Learn to grow thick skin

Cons

The "HR" and Sr. Management at Semrush allow for a workplace of pure harassment, bullying, and toxicity. HR: You only see HR after someone is fired with no explanation. They are not trained whatsoever in HR and you will find that out when your W2's come. If you report behavior of bullying (being cursed at, etc.) to HR nothing is done other than being gaslit. The company is understaffed and I often found myself doing the job of 3 people. Advice to HR: Stop placing employees on PIPs that are riddled with lies. Sr. Management: I have no idea where to begin. They are all ineffective and thrive off of a scared, toxic culture. It's all about internal politics. I've never experienced harassment and bullying like that in my life, and I will ensure I do not ever again.

Dear Sender, While we understand that being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan can be a stressful experience—and may sometimes feel like a reflection of a toxic environment—we believe it's important to have full context before commenting on individual cases. Allegations of harassment or bullying are taken very seriously at Semrush. If you experienced such behavior, we encourage you to report it through our employee hotline or contact us directly at compliance@semrush.com so we can properly review the situation. Thank you in advance! 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.
