Shopee

Pros: Some teams in the Singapore office try to stick to normal hours. You get to work with smart people in the e-commerce space. The onsite benefits are okay, like free food sometimes.
Cons: Work-life balance as a Software Engineer is really tough here. Long hours are common, especially for big tech projects. There's an expectation to be online late, even with hybrid work.
Advice to Management: Management needs to really prioritize employee well-being. Stop promoting a culture of overwork; it burns people out, especially in the competitive tech industry. Give teams more autonomy over project deadlines and WFH options to improve things.

Pros: It's a big tech company, so there are decent benefits. You learn a lot really fast, especially working on e-commerce projects. The teams are usually pretty supportive.
Cons: Work-life balance can be tough for Product Manager roles. Expect late nights, especially around campaign periods. Sometimes the hybrid work model feels more like full-time on-site in the Singapore office.
Advice to Management: Try to enforce better boundaries for work hours, especially during peak seasons. Give teams more autonomy for genuine hybrid work schedules.

Pros: Working at Shopee as a Business Development Executive was a whirlwind, I learned a ton about the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia. It's a big tech company with lots of resources if you're willing to hustle and excel in a demanding onsite work environment.
Cons: Job security is a real concern here, especially with all the recent layoffs across the tech industry. You constantly feel like your role could be impacted, which makes long-term planning for BD roles tough in the Singapore office.
Advice to Management: Try to provide more clarity on company direction and less sudden role eliminations. Transparency about job security would help employee morale significantly, especially for those working hard in critical functions.
