I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shopee (Singapura) in May 2020
Interview
It started with a screening phone interview with the HR followed by a series of interviews with the department manager and team leader. After my interview with the department manager, I was told that I was more suited for another role within the department, so I was directed to that role which I did not apply for. However, after another round of interview with that new team's leaders, I was told that I was not selected and that I was more suitable for the role which I initially applied for... so I had another round of interview with the team leader of the initial department I applied for. It took me a total of 4 interviews (including initial phone) over a period close to 2 months. While I appreciated the HR's prompt responses and feedback, the process felt a little disorganised, with me being directed to another team for another role to only be directed back to the initial role that I applied for.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself.
Why Shopee?
What is your knowledge about the eComm sector in China, and how can Shopee learn from them?
HR phone screening, then had to do a written assignment made up of several essays. Was shortlisted and called down for 2 interviews with one manager each (managing separate teams) at the office. They were a set of case studies pertaining to Shopee specifically and also questions about my capabilities. Thought the interviews went well on one side, the other not so much. Doesn’t matter that I did not get an offer, but I found it unpleasant that HR never bothered to send a rejection email, when they took up my time and effort going through several rounds of the interview process.
