I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Shopee in Jul 2019
Interview
Recruiter found me on LinkedIn. I have a tech role in another company in Singapore with 1 year of working experience and tbh I think my present role pays better than Shopee
It was a terribly odd interview. Recruiter does not seem genuine in hiring. Rather, it seemed that the recruiter wanted to suss out my resume/ job scope.
I’m personally not keen in the role of a product manager. Neither was I keen in the interview/ to job hop. Just went to try it out as the recruiter seemed pushy to schedule a Skype interview.
Recruiter has a lack of knowledge in tech. Cannot answer well when I grilled on the job scope. Asked and grilled me on my university experience after I gave a brief overview of my job scope. I didn’t want to go into details with my job as the recruiter appeared to be digging on my information. Grilled on my various University experience like committee experience rather than internships-which I felt were not relevant to the role.
Luckily I did not give my full resume and transcript for the interview. Felt scammed.

Other Product Manager interview reviews for Shopee
Had a great overall interview experience. The HR was incredibly warm and approachable — communication was smooth and she made me feel at ease right from the start. The second-round interviewer was equally friendly and professional, creating a comfortable atmosphere throughout the conversation. The whole process felt well-organized and respectful of the candidate's time.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopee
Interview
The hiring level was friendly and open to discussion. Passed the first two rounds with the senior and team lead. Very nice 2-way discussion during the interview. Oddly, HR was the last round and I didn't hear back thereafter. The HR looked a bit distracted when I was speaking.
There are 3 interviews in totoal. The first two interviews are hiring manager interview. And the last interview is hr interview. The interviewer is strict and talkative. They like interactive style
