Sheer wastage of time and effort. I did not expect this from Flipkart.

I called at 10 am, and by 2 pm, they were still unable to organize the first round.

Better to look for other opportunities.

Here's the breakdown of the first round: Machine Coding.

We were asked to design a multi-layered cache with L1, L2, and L3 levels.

The question itself wasn't difficult, but their explanation presented a challenge.

Initially, they requested that the functionality be completely demoed within the given 1.5 hours. However, they also expected functionality, scalability, and the implementation of design patterns. This seems like an insufficient amount of time for such a complex question.

In my opinion, the core issue is the need for a clearer distinction between High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) questions.
