The news also reported on it—A university student had an internship arranged but was stood up; after complaining online, they discovered that this company was actually a repeat offender:

In summary, Shopee may suddenly stand you up without notifying you that you no longer need to come to work, HR may fail to show up for an interview at the scheduled time, and they sign interns for only three months before trying to trample all over them.

Okay, here’s my own experience with Shopee.

I applied for a management trainee position, passed the application screening and online test, and was required to turn on my camera to prove that I wasn’t cheating (are they really that distrustful of people?). Then I took the GMAT, but was rejected.

I also repeatedly applied for positions through “Slave Bank” [104] and was continually ignored by Shopee HR.

Later, I found the manager’s email address for the position I wanted at Shopee and emailed the manager. Only then did HR call me for a phone interview.

In other words, Shopee HR was unable to properly identify the people the hiring department managers wanted, and kept blocking your applications through 104 until you emailed the manager and finally got noticed (well, it just happened that I had a way to find out the manager’s email address).

During the phone interview, Shopee HR was really obnoxious.

They asked, “Why were all your previous internships so short?”

Why don’t you take a look at how your own company treats interns? You sign them for three months and treat them as disposable chopsticks, and then you ask interviewees why their internships were so short. You’ve got some nerve, don’t you?!

Then they asked how many months of employment gap I had. It was really laughable. HR, try looking for a job yourself during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic—I bet you wouldn’t be able to find one for a whole year.
