Interview
The technical interview process at Flipkart was both challenging and insightful. Here's how it went from my perspective:
Initial Screening Round:
This round tested my problem-solving skills through a coding test on platforms like Hackerrank or CodeSignal.
I was given 2–3 DSA problems (medium to hard level), mostly on topics like arrays, strings, dynamic programming, and graphs.
I made sure to write clean code with optimal logic and proper edge case handling.
Technical Interview – Round 1:
This was a one-on-one video interview with a Flipkart engineer.
It started with a brief intro and then moved to data structures and algorithms.
I was asked to solve 2 problems: one on binary search variations and another on sliding window.
I explained my thought process clearly, discussed time and space complexities, and optimized my code in real-time.
Technical Interview – Round 2:
This round focused more on system design and problem-solving.
Since I was applying for a fresher/entry-level role, they gave me a low-level design task like designing a URL shortener or library system.
I also faced a few follow-up DSA questions to test depth of understanding.
Behavioral + Technical Wrap-Up:
The interviewer asked about my internship experience, projects, and how I approach real-world debugging.
There were a few situational questions related to teamwork, time pressure, and learning from mistakes.
Online test (Flipkart Grid 7.0)with three data structures and algorithms questions. one from arrays, one from trees/graphs, one from graphs. Total time was 90 minutes. and the test was online and proctored.
