I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Semrush in Aug 2024
Interview
The researcher reached out on Linkedin, we set up a call, she provided a presentation about the company overall and vacancy, she asked some basic questions about my experience as a Product Manager also answered my questions and told me about the next interview stages, also she suggested other Product Owner opportunities that could be interesting for me. The researcher was positive and polite, also she prepared a presentation about a company, which was really great idea because I've never seen such an approach before, it was much easier to visualise than just listening to some basic information. I got the impression that she really likes the company she works for. She also told me about the benefits, which I had not seen in any company before. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the next stages, but I have a good impression of the company

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush (Barcelona) in Dec 2023
Interview
Was contacted by a recruited via Linkedin.
The first call was an introduction to the company and the business unit. The recruiter asked me about my background and experience as a product manager/owner and answered various questions about the company and the role. She also mentioned other open roles and if I was interested in them as well.
The interviewer was respectful, cordial and polite. She informed me of potential future interviews if the the hiring manager is interested in my profile.
The next interview was with two product owners and an HR business partner. It was a very interactive and engaging exchange that felt more like a discussion than an interview, they asked me various questions about my background, experience..etc plus other general product management questions. we delved deep into certain use cases related to data, experimentation and strategy, which allowed me to get a sense of how Semrush does product management.
Again, the interviewers were very polite and humble, offering lots of insights and engaging in very interesting conversations.
The final interview was a culture fit with the development team, cross function (Design and UX research) and the hiring manager. They asked situational questions related to tech debt and interacting with engineers, How to leverage UX research and how to build a product strategy.
Overall the experience was delightful, the process was clear and it ended up in me accepting the offer immediately.
I applied through other source. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Semrush in Oct 2023
Interview
I was contacted by a HR rep for a PO position, I had an interview after 3 days from the first contact and I have never heard since. I sent a couple of follow up mails but no answer.
