I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopee (Singapur) in Dec 2018
Interview
Two rounds I attended.
The first round was algorithm round and the second one was Data Science round.
The interviewer for algorithm round was nice. 1 basic and 1 advanced algorithm question. After clearing this round I was called in for data science round in few days
The 2nd round was not a nice experience. The interviewer asked me to explain a project I had done in the past, on the whiteboard, but was the least interested in what I was explaining. The interviewer rarely looked at me while I was explaining and was most of the times staring on the laptop she/he had bought int. Asked some basic ML questions and the interview was over in 25 minutes (was scheduled for an hour).
I was then told another round would be held later but after 2 days received an automated response saying I had not been selected. In the end, it looked like that I the 2nd round was just a formality as the interviewer never seemed serious in evaluating.

Interview
Could never get the HR to get on call regardless of the recruiter getting in touch with me for the role and setting the date and time. It was highly unprofessional to make a candidate wait at the other end if you don't want to make the call in the first place. After multiple follow-ups too, there was no response.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopee (Pekín, Pekín) in Sep 2018
Interview
First round is about binary search, solved it very quickly. Act like I solved it too soon. Second round is about projects. If you use English, it will help. Third round is about culture. Just talk and ask question about anything.
