Great connections but lack of clear direction

Customer success manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people. You would make lots of good friends. The best part is to make lots of great connections inside and outside of work

Cons

Upper doesn't have an idea of what direction to follow to achieve long-term goals. The sales and CS organisation goes through changes every 2 quarters and would blame employees not to achive goals and targets.

Dear Sender, Thank you for highlighting what is truly the company's greatest asset—its people. We completely agree that our employees are our most valuable strength. As for the company's long-term direction, it remains firmly in place, and without it, we would not be where we are today. We’re sorry to hear that your expectations were different. That said, we're grateful for the impact you made during your time with us and for your contributions to the company. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Yours, the Semrush Team
