Interview
It was actually a good experience with Shopee, though I actually do not pass the online test. I actually miss the first test but was contacted by the HR team friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
After the test, I feel like it seems like two easy level leetcode problems. But with camera and mic on, I was kind of nervous in the first place. The description of the problem is long, but can be concluded into very short sentence. Finish both but only one get to run correctly, the first one cost me some time.

Interview
I want to preface this review by saying Shopee is a fast growing company, where processess and policies can change quickly. What that means is an agile HR system that learns from itself. Compared to the Shopee of two years ago that I previously interviewed they've revamped the whole process entirely and made it much smoother for engineers overall.
I interviewed with Shopee ML team in late february / march. They quickly sent me an online assessment, which requires you camera, microphone and screen share. Afterwards the recruiters set up a quick call to touch base and scheduled me to do a phone screen with another engineer. This interview had a small coding portion and then a series of quick questions related to ML concepts. I wanted to highlight the depth that my second engineer screen went into to check my knowledge of data structures.
Afterwards I scheduled another similar phone screen a week afterwards, then a call with the hiring manager of the team. The two engineer screens had a lot of overlap in terms of content. The hiring manager screen could be improve a little if his questions had more structure to them and or if he asked more about my working style and how i would fit in with the team. Some questions about my latest favourite papers and some more things in that direction may also be useful.
In particular I want to highlight my recruiters Ronda, Andrea and Fion whose professionalism and responsiveness really made me think positively of Shopee. Their ability and answer my questions and give me quick feedback made the whole process enjoyable and it was really a pleasure to work with them.

Interview
I applied online and was invited for an online coding round within few days. They ask for the availability as the link for the online coding expires in two days. I was supposed to solve two questions in one hour. Audia, video and screen is recorded and the video is flagged if you look away from the screen for a few seconds (which I felt was too much as I wanted to use paper and pen and it kept on flagging me).
I was expecting questions related to machine learning.
