Dear Software Engineer, Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are glad that you enjoy working with your fellow employees. With regards to expecting a response after working hours and weekends, understand that most teams do not practice this unless there are urgent issues that need to be taken care of. That being said, we also encourage everyone in Shopee to maintain a good balance between work and life. If you'd like to share more about your experience, please contact us at [hr.experience@shopee.com] so we can set up a time to talk. We will dedicate an employee to help you with your experience, bearing your preferred anonymity in mind. Thank you again for sharing your feedback and we hope you're doing well with us!

Fast-paced company with strong Chinese culture

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

- Wide selection of snacks - Work on large-scale product

Cons

- Strong Chinese culture, lots of politics. It is not friendly for non-Chinese speakers, as most people are from mainland China and most meetings are in Chinese. - Messy process. The company is under mass-hiring, and most of the time the processes are messy due to fast expansion. - Long working hours & non-flexible working culture. You need to tap-in and tap-out to clock your working hours. We are professionals and should not be treated as the blue-collar workers.

Dear Former Employee, We truly appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback and we are sorry to hear that your experience working with Shopee Singapore was an unpleasant one. It is true that we hire many people from Mainland China, however we do encourage our employees to voice out their opinions to make the workplace a better one. With regards to the working hours, we are hoping to reach a day where our working hours will become shorter. Employees are also no longer required to tap in and out to clock working hours. That said, we would like to understand your pain points, and hopefully open an investigation with regards to the team and people you were working with. Please contact us at [hr.experience@shopee.com] so we can set up a time to talk. It'll be great if you can begin your email subject with "2 Jan 2019, Former Employee". We will dedicate an employee to help you with your experience, bearing your preferred anonymity in mind. Thank you and we wish you all the best.

Dear former Customer Service Associate Apologies in the delay in response. We truly appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback, and can only imagine how frustrating the interactions with our supervisors are for you. What you've brought up is a serious matter and we would like to make it clear that such behavior is not allowed here in Shopee. Shall we work together to solve this problem? If you'd like to share more about your experience, please contact us at [hr.experience@shopee.com] so we can set up a time to talk. It'll be great if you can begin your email subject with "20 Dec 2018, Former Employee, Customer Service". We will dedicate an employee to help you with your experience, bearing your preferred anonymity in mind. Thank you again for alerting us to this. What you've brought up is important and please share with us more on this.
