Pros

Great and friendly colleagues who are pretty supportive

Cons

1. HR squeezes out the staff as they are mainly focusing on making money for the company, and refused to hear out the options, feedback provided from the staff. 2. Can you imagine that promotion has NO promotion increment, but just a title? Yes, that happened in SHOPEE MALAYSIA. So think twice before you join. 3. As a freshie, if you start your pay at a lower range, don't ever think that Shopee would give you a higher pay when you're here for long. 4. Pay between an Associate who served the company for a year long is ~RM500 differences between a Senior Associate. Yes, this happened. 5. A junior pay (less than 6months) is higher than a senior (2 years within the company). Yes, that happened too. 6. Intern is having a higher pay than a full time. Oh yes, if you wish to have a higher pay as an intern, join Shopee. 7. Regardless of how hard you work, how well you do your job; at the end of the day, the middle management would only rate you based on your 'relationship' with them. - A staff who worked tirelessly with the manager until 3-4am yet the increment and bonus in 2020 was less than 9%. (Oh well, the staff tendered without securing a job as the staff was tired of how Shopee manage their staff/ policies etc). - A managerial staff who is LESS COMPETENT, great at phrasing beautiful words, definitely a great talker, yet can't do the job well (as in managing a team, handling a project) is STILL act as a manager. Currently, 90% of the team members left the team, except the favourite member who scored an A in last year's assessment. 8. Thinking of career progression in Shopee, please look for other places. They only intend to push someone from the outside world to take care of their portfolio.

Pros

I can barely think of any... some developers are really nice. Other than that, PM and business people are very self-centric and not very pleasant to work with. Thumbs up to myself for being able escape from here and find a pleasant company.

Cons

1. HR can surely be more helpful and less ignorant. Once you left the company, they no longer answer your question regarding pending matters. No one is ever going to respond to you. And interestingly, look at the short and repetitive good reviews showing up here. Like some reviews mentioned, HR FAKED MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS. THAT'S CHEATING! 2. HR low ball you all the time. Try very hard to negotiate the salary when they offer. Ask for a 20% higher number than your expectation because the HR will low ball you by cutting a 20% even though you give a very reasonable number. 3. Incompetent team managers who are extremely young think they are the best. They got to that place only because they kissed up to higher ups. They literally know nothing about team management and morale management. My team manager bluntly told my teammate I don't care about the moral... in my entire career, I have never met such an ignorant team manager. 4. Depends on your team, the projects you work on or even the entire product line can be cancelled or treated like a joke if your manager only cares about politics and showing face in front of senior management. Some team leaders treated their own projects like a joke and only cares about how to window-dress the project results. 5. A lot of Chinese people and team managers who can't speak proper English. Good luck to you if your Chinese is not good enough to get the unspoken message. Be prepared for high-contextual Chinese your managers will use and the weird English they speak in. 6. People do not understand the meaning of OFF-WORK and PRIVACY. Ping you every now and then after work.
