      Drunk on its early success, the company has forgotten to invest in its employees…

      Pros

      The products are interesting and their impact is unquestionable. The company is branding itself well and is getting noticed on a huge scale. The pay, if negotiated at the beginning with care, can beat the market at the time of the offer (no fixed long-term raise schema in place though).

      Cons

      Unkept promises (about raises, bonuses, stock options, reward trips at certain milestones) undermine the leadership's trustworthiness. The lack of honest, transparent communication (including the acknowledgment of bad decisions) raises additional trust issues. While clearly not stakeholders (no stock/option despite prior promises), ordinary employees are expected to commit to the company beyond reasonable limits. Upper management is completely detached from the reality of the employees' daily life and struggles. The monthly Q&A sessions have turned into a weird satire of the CEO et al. attempting to BS their way out of real, important questions.

      We are truly sorry for your experience working at SEON turned out to be so concerning. Our leadership takes all feedback very seriously and act upon on them. We are thankful for your remarks, so we can build a better organisation. Since the pandemic, we have implemented yearly 2x fixed raise schema (January and July), and re-structured the bonus schema for non-commercial teammates into more frequent and higher level of raises based on the feedback we've received. We aim to pay over market standard to make sure our teams remain high performers. Unfortunately the company had to pivot from reward trips given the lockdown situation, and the whole company-wide ESOP / stock options were rolled out in 2022, as we have promised. At the moment all of our teammates are shareholders. Tamas Kadar - CEO and Co-Founder of SEON

      Pros

      The office is easy to reach by public transport.

      Cons

      You will have everything that you would hate in a big company, but nothing that you would like at a startup. For example legacy code, spaghetti architecture, home office not really approved even in covid.

      Please accept our sincere apologies regarding your experience working at SEON. We do our best to listen to feedback and implement changes based on them. Hence we are grateful to hear your points. SEON has transformed from 20 people operation to 300 in the last 2.5 years, therefore we have indeed became a larger enterprise and less like a scrappy startup. Although we strive to maintain a high standard of our code-base and architecture, there is always room for improvement, just like at any other company. During the pandemic our whole operation has reverted to remote and even now, in 2022, we are following a fully flexible hybrid style of working. Tamas Kadar - CEO and Co-Founder of SEON
