Flipkart

For SDE1/2, Flipkart is still a good place to be and learn different technologies.

Even though Flipkart is forcing people to come in, it won't mind much if you don't want to.

All you need to do is threaten your manager with putting in your papers, and they will give you work-from-home for one year.

• Too much nepotism in technology. In most teams, if you are a yes person, then your opinion is listened to, or else trashed.

• Flipkart's business is saturated, and there are many new Product Managers who have no tech background and no clue about how the system is working. This is leading to many hacks in place.

• No option of affordable (or even costly) wholesome food; it is very overpriced. And for extra work, don't expect to be paid or even get food for extended hours.

• Massive budget cuts everywhere. Peers are not as competitive as they used to be.

• 90% of recent good reviews here are lies. Look at the employee pulse on anonymous apps; they are at all-time lows.

• A very high tech debt in almost all the teams I knew or worked with. This is because of the short-sightedness of engineering managers and product managers.

• Talent recognition is sparse. You work day and night, and at the end, you get only 5% with an occasional 500 Rs appreciation voucher.

Please introduce 360 feedback. Current managers are not competent enough.

Please rotate architects from one team to another in 12 months. They are the major reason for nepotism.
