I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush in May 2025
Interview
My interview experience was absolutely fantastic!
Right from the start, the HR interview stood out. It was super informative — HR even came prepared with a presentation, walking me through all the details about the role and the team. She was incredibly supportive and positive throughout the whole process, checking in with me and genuinely caring about how things were going.
The second round was with my future manager and the HR manager. It felt more like a friendly chat than a formal interview — all the questions were focused on my experience, with no tricky or stressful ones thrown in.
Then came the third interview with my potential teammates. It was such a great chance to ask questions and hear more about the projects they’re working on. Everyone was open and welcoming.
Finally, I had a conversation with the VP — again, super friendly and down-to-earth. There was no sense of hierarchy or distance, which I really appreciated.
The whole process was smooth and well-organized. I was always kept in the loop about the next steps, and I got feedback quickly after each round. What really surprised me was how genuinely kind and approachable everyone was. No stress, no exhausting tests, no weird curveball questions — just honest conversations.
Even when it came to the offer, the team called me to go over everything and made sure I had no unanswered questions. They really went the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable and informed.
Truly an amazing experience from start to finish!
