Pros

None at all. So many accounts of experience have already been written here, yet a bunch of young, clueless kids keep asking how to get in—is something wrong with your eyes?

Cons

The interview experience was extremely poor. Are Shopee’s HR staff overly self-important? They’re just HR, yet they put on such airs and refuse to give people a chance to interview no matter what. I learned through a headhunter that if you have less than one year of experience in any one job, you basically have no chance of getting in. Furthermore, because the company has suffered serious losses, it is starting to downsize and cut staff this year. Basically, it is unlikely to be hiring newcomers, and the salary will not be as good as before, unless you have a very strong “manager connection” to get you in.

I was referred for an interview by a friend who works there. Two department managers came to the first interview. HR indicated that a manager from another department could also come to learn about me and asked me to consider two positions. In the end, however, only the manager of the position I applied for seriously spoke with me. The other manager was either yawning or playing on their phone, showing complete disrespect for the candidate. I was then asked to go for a second interview. I found this strange—if I was a good fit, why was a second interview necessary? I thought HR wanted to talk with me, but at the second interview they actually brought in a “specialist” from their department to interview me. Why would they send a “specialist” rather than a manager to interview a job candidate...? This was truly extremely disrespectful to the interviewee. The questions had little depth, and they even asked questions about their own work. It was obvious they just wanted me to help answer their questions and then intended to kick me out. In the end, sure enough, HR notified me that I had not been selected. The whole interview was a joke! They showed no respect for people at all. If they are disrespectful from the interview onward, presumably they will not respect their employees either. Inexperienced young people act self-important from above. A company like this should hurry up and go bankrupt—it makes me want to vomit just looking at it.
