This team really went above and beyond, making the whole interview process great. The recruiter was super helpful and kept me in the loop about everything. The tech folks were really approachable and set up some tech meetings that were both professional and enjoyable. I had four meetings in total: first, a chat with the recruiter; second, a meeting with the hiring lead; third, a technical follow-up with more team members; and finally, an offer review with the recruiter and HR. Even though I ended up declining the offer for personal reasons, I'd be happy to work with them in the future.

Semrush reached out to me in early December 2024. The whole process was super quick, taking less than 5 weeks from the first contact to when they made me an offer. During that time, I got to chat with everyone important.

An HR rep reached out on LinkedIn. The first part was a phone call, pretty standard, and the interviewer was nice. Then, I had a weird second meeting with the manager and team lead. The team lead seemed cool, but the manager didn't seem thrilled to be there. It was supposed to be 45 minutes, but they said it would be a full hour when we started. The manager just bombarded me with questions, felt like an interrogation. They also straight up said there wasn't much chance for advancement and that the role was basically a stepping stone to other marketing jobs. So many red flags, I knew I wouldn't take it even if they offered.
