Pros

Nice office which lures you into thinking the company cares about you

Cons

THE WORST place I have ever worked at. Nothing gets worse then this. The marketing department is filled with racist, bullying colleagues who will do ANYTHING to step on you to get what they want. → There is NO such thing as work life balance here. I would work from 8 AM until 1 AM at night every single day for MONTHS. Management don't care if you burnout because they have someone else ready to replace you once you're done. Campaign period was the worst where we were staffed on weekends, and would work past midnight most days. → No job security: I would get threatened by my manager that they would fire me if I didn't do more overtime or deliver. This is a very common technique they used with other employees to scare them into working harder. → People are INCREDIBLY rude. I have never met such passive aggressive managers and colleagues. People would intentionally highlight your mistakes to the manager to step on you, and get promoted ahead of you. → Turnover is incredibly high (half our team turned over within half a year, with several others thinking to quit). → People were racist, and I would not advise working here unless if you're Singaporean Chinese/from mainland China. People were racist to me several times, and I felt limited in the opportunities that I had because of my race. → No sense of accomplishment: Everything is about MORE at Shopee. Once 9.9 campaign is over, it's time to focus on 10.10, 11.11 and 12.12. I never was once thanked or appreciated for any of my efforts, and was always forced to look ahead. STAY away from this place if you care about your wellbeing and overall job prospects. I've seen many people who absolutely hate their job at Shopee but cannot leave because they are scared of leaving, and so they instead just try to climb upwards. The worst half year of my life, and now I'm making a higher salary and working half as many hours at a better company that cares about my wellbeing.
