Hiring Manager Interview
Got a call after 3 days to submit the documents.
Didn't hear from Flipkart since then. Tried calling them, emailing them multiple times but no response to date.
Probably the worst ghosting experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Flipkart (Bengaluru) in Jul 2026
Interview
The first round was machine coding round to implement a real life scenario. Assigning , approving and cancelling.
Didn't implement all cases so disqualified. First round was online. Second round was inperson where they reviewed the machine code.
It was an interesting interview. Had a mix of coding, problem solving and design discussions. The interview experience for me was a good learning experience, the interviewers were warm and friendly. They were very interested in my experience.
