Pros

There's a lot of opportunities to try out new things, as the company is still growing.

Cons

Work culture a bit leaning towards working off-hours, and there's still a few non-english teams which can be hard to communicate with.

Pros

Great company with lots of opportunities to grow. Good to be able to interact with teams in different countries and learn from them as well.

Cons

Very fast-paced and can be a 'con' for someone who isn't used to that kind of setup.

Pros

- Strong corporate branding; company has been pretty effective in showcasing how "great" they are. Tech hackathons, great office amenities...oh spare me please. - Fast-paced. Some may like the hustle. But the word fast-paced is often misused. The real reason why the work life of Shopee as fast-paced is because there are so many inefficiencies plaguing the company. Lack of systems, high staff count (they say its expansion, but hey, it's because you lack any foundations and hiring more is just a stop-gap measure)

Cons

- As I've mentioned, lack of proper internal tools and systems to streamline workload. A lot of manual work. - Top down approach. A lot of yes men and women in this company, particularly middle management. Employees who are bottom of the command chain suffers. - Inexperienced managers and leadership. Chaotic. Political. Especially with the mass hiring practices. good employee may not make a good manager. I've seen many who are promoted to people managers in a short span of time, but their leadership skills can be lacking.
