Pros

Very talented colleagues, and fraud prevention is a very interesting area with lots of possibilities. Engineering leadership - who's still left - is very good, among with product management. Overall a friendly and helpful atmosphere among coworkers.

Cons

Just a few days after announcing publicly that the company acquired Complytron to provide AML data for 2,5m Euros, they laid off 20% of their employees - from that money, they could build that 1000000 times oooooooverpriced product 3 times in-house and keep all those employees. The management is a catastrophe, with some being a disgusting money drain - travelling weekly here and there, instead of working on retaining people, she takes her family members on company events etc. The CTO is not fit at all for this size of a company, as engineers that's the most obvious thing we see, but apart from that, I don't think anyone from management should still be there at this stage - especially the CCO as he's the one who set targets the company failed to meet and instead of him, they fired almost 60 people.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor. We always appreciate feedback from our employees, both positive and negative, as it helps us to continuously improve our company and make it a better place to work. Regarding your concerns about our recent acquisition of Complytron, we understand your frustration. However, we want to clarify that we actually acquired Complytron more than 6 months ago and had to delay the announcement due to some legal tasks that needed to be finalized. We also want to make it clear that we have not paid the total amount of the acquisition upfront, but we are vesting it out over multiple years and tying it to key performance indicators. We understand that our management team members need to travel frequently to our different office locations in order to have a presence and oversee operations. While we appreciate your concerns, we want to make it clear that this is necessary for the successful operation of our company. Regarding your concerns about family members attending company events, we are happy to welcome partners at our events most of the time, but we will take your feedback into consideration and make sure that we are clear about our policies in the future. We understand that the recent layoffs were difficult for everyone, and we want to acknowledge that partially this was due to the missed year end commercial targets. However, it is also important to note that macro changes played a big part. We initiated our Chief Revenue Officer search around 6 months ago to improve the commercial leadership and this kind of growth in our executive team is a natural part of a company scaling. SEON has welcomed our new CRO in March 2023. We always welcome constructive feedback about how we can improve as a company and as a management team. If you would like to discuss your concerns further or provide us with any additional feedback, please feel free to email me directly at tomkadar@seon.io. Thank you again for your feedback, and we will continue to work hard to make SEON a great place to work. Tamas Kadar - CEO and Co-Founder of SEON

Pros

The product is clearly world-class and way ahead of its competition. Salaries are above average levels and high-performers got over 35% raise over the last 12 months (at least in Budapest). Cool benefits like extra wellness, moving holidays, vision and dental care, management training etc. The product roadmap and company has a very defined vision.

Cons

Really high-expectations and heavy workloads. In the past the hiring bar wasn’t set high enough and given the growth, lot of people were laid off lately, which caused un-happinness and fear. Lot of inexperienced people were promoted as managers (who didn’t have any other jobs before) as most of them are failing. Many coworker has no idea how startups are working and showing high level of entitlement. WFH depends on the manager.
