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.

Programming-based questions related to C/C++
