Avoid unless desperate - Assistant Manager Shopee Employee Review

- Most disorganised company I’ve ever worked for. No onboarding for newcomers. New employees are expected to figure it out themselves and either sink or swim - Lack of direction, and there were instances where senior management changes their mind multiple times within the same day. - No innovation - improvements and new features often done because a chinese competitor is doing it. - Inexperienced managers and team leads who have no experience leading a team and only micromanage, or are simply messengers from what upper management wants with no opinions of their own. Managers also often lack EQ and can be condescending to subordinates - No one believes in proper briefing. Information often comes in bits and pieces with little to no background context. - Very chinese-centric. Some decks and product documents are written in Chinese, expecting everyone in team to understand despite Chinese fluency not being a part of the job description. - No empathy for employees and amidst the current pandemic, pushed employees back to work from office as much as they can - huge contrast from other forward-thinking tech companies - Expectation to work long hours (see points of being disorganized and lack of briefing)
