1. HR squeezes out the staff as they are mainly focusing on making money for the company, and refused to hear out the options, feedback provided from the staff.
2. Can you imagine that promotion has NO promotion increment, but just a title? Yes, that happened in SHOPEE MALAYSIA. So think twice before you join.
3. As a freshie, if you start your pay at a lower range, don't ever think that Shopee would give you a higher pay when you're here for long.
4. Pay between an Associate who served the company for a year long is ~RM500 differences between a Senior Associate. Yes, this happened.
5. A junior pay (less than 6months) is higher than a senior (2 years within the company). Yes, that happened too.
6. Intern is having a higher pay than a full time. Oh yes, if you wish to have a higher pay as an intern, join Shopee.
7. Regardless of how hard you work, how well you do your job; at the end of the day, the middle management would only rate you based on your 'relationship' with them.
- A staff who worked tirelessly with the manager until 3-4am yet the increment and bonus in 2020 was less than 9%. (Oh well, the staff tendered without securing a job as the staff was tired of how Shopee manage their staff/ policies etc).
- A managerial staff who is LESS COMPETENT, great at phrasing beautiful words, definitely a great talker, yet can't do the job well (as in managing a team, handling a project) is STILL act as a manager. Currently, 90% of the team members left the team, except the favourite member who scored an A in last year's assessment.
8. Thinking of career progression in Shopee, please look for other places. They only intend to push someone from the outside world to take care of their portfolio.
