Pros

Employee benefits.

A cool company culture, open to ideas. Gives ample ownership and you can surround yourself with some pretty smart people. A good learning experience and a chance for good career progression, depending upon your reporting manager. You can switch teams internally if you are not satisfied or want to work on other/more challenging projects. Freedom to work at your own pace and learn at your own pace. You can move easily between Myntra, PhonePe, and other Flipkart companies in case an opportunity comes up.

Cons

Very slow in catching up to the market standards in compensation. Poor pay when compared with other startups, MNCs, and FAANGs.

No benefits like in other companies, such as free food, cab allowance, or WFH setup allowance. They compensate for this with better insurance, but still, in comparison, definitely improve the benefits standards here.

Advice to Management

We should seriously think about the high attrition rate and take corrective measures for employee dissatisfaction. Benefits and compensation, etc., should be based on an apple-to-apple comparison. If Flipkart wants the best talent to work for them, they should also provide the same opportunities and compensation/pay benefits as other top talent-attracting companies like FAANGs.
