Hybrid is fine, but true flexibility is missing
Shopee has a structured hybrid work model, but actual flexibility feels limited for many roles, especially if you're in an operational department like marketing. Expect long hours, which can impact your personal life.
The official hybrid model is decent, giving us some onsite days in the Singapore office. It's good to catch up with colleagues, especially important for collaborative marketing roles in this fast-paced e-commerce environment.
Work flexibility is tough, honestly. As a Marketing Associate, you're expected to be available for long hours. Don't expect many true WFH days beyond the policy, and it's not really a big tech company vibe for remote work.
Management needs to really encourage work-life balance and empower teams to genuinely use flexible work options. The official hybrid policy is there, but the culture often overrides it with expectations for constant availability.
