Pros

Place to grow and learn a lot of things. Competitive salary + benefit packages.

Cons

Cross-team discussion might not be as smooth as we expect. Daily work-life balance is subject to team. Management is also subject to team (I am really lucky to join a great team, but same cannot be said to other team).

Pros

Intensive tasks will push you to learn something about e-commerce and some big data processing framework. if you just want to learn some software programming tools and development process and stay here for a short term, you can consider it.

Cons

1. Chinese kingdom. Apparently Shopee is a Chinese dominated company where even documents are Chinese. Managers will speak Chinese to their Chinese peers from China. So you cannot understand what they say, which alienate non-Chinese so much. And this also means non-PRC Chinese are not considered as leaders cuz they are not in the social circle. 2. top-down management. no discussion, you just receive order, and then do do do. the so-called tech lead will check your progress every 1 hour. 3. abusive language used by manager. my tech lead said very nasty words to me. and also once a time, I heard one manager shout at the office with f* word in the morning. 4. no training, no tutorials,...
