I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopee (Singapura) in Apr 2018
Interview
I have interviewed with the Data Science team at the Singapore office. I was a little apprehensive of Shopee after reading the bad reviews here. However, after I have completed the entire interview process, I sincerely think that these are some of the best and down to earth people I have met.
There are 4 rounds of interview. The first 2 are technical and the last 2 are more towards cultural fit.
The first 2 rounds are conducted by future teammates. I managed to finish the technical questions ahead of time and get to ask them a lot of questions about their work and management style. They are very open and tell me about the pros and cons. I have also asked them technical related questions and found them to be very knowledgeable in their domain.
The last 2 rounds are conducted by the managers. I get a sense that they are easy going people and they have much trust in their team to do their work. They are definitely not the micromanagers type.
Throughout the entire interview process, the HR has kept me informed at each step. They are very prompt in their reply and professional even when I have proven to be a difficult case.
