sad sad downfall - Anonymous employee Semrush Employee Review

used to be a great place to work but about a year and a half or so most of the c-levels were replaced with corporate america-types who made constant impulsive decisions that misaligned most departments away from common goals. decisions to "cut costs" come from haste and quick-win mentality instead of prioritizing efficiency and long-term value. due to frequent layoffs, most recent being a few weeks ago, the previously collaborative and supportive environment became one of fear and uncertainty. each change would end up essentially being for nothing as any initiative would be abandoned for a new one every few weeks - frequent instability and gaps between decision and results. in the midst of all this chaos, the product feels abandoned, outdated, and deceptive.
