Pay is okay for an e-commerce giant
Working at Shopee has its ups and downs, especially with compensation. The benefits are decent, but base pay could be better for the kind of work involved in this fast-paced industry.
The benefits package is pretty solid, especially the health insurance and vacation days. They do offer a decent performance bonus structure for Software Engineer roles, which is a nice perk. It's competitive enough for the e-commerce industry here in Singapore.
Base salary isn't always top-tier compared to other big tech companies. Raises can be pretty small each year, so don't expect huge jumps. Stock options aren't as generous as some other places I've looked at.
Consider increasing base salaries to be more competitive with other global tech firms. Revisit the stock option program to better incentivize and retain top talent in technical roles.
