Pros

Shopee hires every-single-day and if you want chill/stagnant job, this is for you. With Shopee its like falling in love. 1st month, you'll be all over Shopee. 6th month you start to see flaws. After a year - you'll be completely out of love. And before you'll be able to complete be out of love with Shopee - its too late, they already have someone to replace you. At least, I can guarantee you'll be able to stay in Shopee for a year :) Its a fun and energetic team eventhough its toxic. - Used to have tea time, now no more :(

Cons

- With above point, they hire new people most of the time - they don't groom their internal. So can forget about career progression if you join here. Like I said, stagnant. - When they say they hire multiracial, ask them the percentage of at the 3 main races in Malaysia. You'll be able to tell how 'multiracial' they are. - HR internally is corrupted and integrity is not their thing. i.e Decision been made cater to their own opinion, biggest issue - change of policy, change of contract clause. - There's OT allowance, but not applicable to those earn > RM3000. But expected to work extra hours. Great! #LifeAtShopee - Young, fresh hire. Sounds fun? Indeed. However there's a fine line between young and matured hires. Nothing is wrong to hire fresh grad and give them position that requires prior experience. But, it is wrong to give authority and power to the inexperience employee. No advantage if you have experience cos they don't know how to appreciate. Maybe upper management have insecurity issue.

Hi current employee, thank you for taking time out to leave us a review. You have mentioned many points that we would like to address but it will be too long to do so here. However, I do want to mention that integrity is a non-negotiable value that we look out for in all our employees before we get them on board. We believe that there might be a gap in communication that has caused you to feel this way. If you are open to have a chat with our team, please drop us an email at hr.experience@shopee.com and we can discuss them there. Lastly, thank you for continuing your Shopee journey despite your circumstances!
