Pros

1. Fun co-workers and office environment - Social events and team outings are not uncommon in Shopee 2. Fast-paced eCommerce industry promotes a good amount of individual growth and understanding of what's in store for the future of retail 3. Good place to grow one's network as one gets to connect with people from different walks of life

Cons

1. Little to no career progression prospects - This is true especially for local employees in the PH as Shopee likes to hire expats to fill roles instead of promoting dedicated existing workers - Shopee hires a lot because of the very high turnover rate (possibly due to the first reason) 2. Distasteful Office Politics from Upper Management - can be attributed to reason 1 as well - Expats hired in upper management end up hiring more expats instead of promoting dedicated existing employees 3. The company is merely a disruptor to it's competitor, Lazada - every single action taken by Shopee is geared towards beating Lazada, despite it being at the expense of their employees and sellers - the company is merely a disruptor in this sense. Which is why instead of focusing on developing its people and constituents, Shopee merely focuses on implementing quick band-aid solutions instead of having long term plans in developing the company and it's people further. All because they really have to beat Lazada. 4. Uneven ratio of Workload and Pay - You may be given a significant amount of workload and roles compared to another employee, however he/she can be paid the same or sometimes even more - better to come in the company as someone with experience rather than a fresh grad if you are looking for high pay - Having even a sliver of extra work experience can mean having double the salary compared to a fresh grad, despite having the exact same role as them
