Flipkart Interview Experience

It’s not easy getting into one of the hottest companies in India. As the company is growing at a crazy pace, Flipkart always looks for best talent out there to keep up with its growth. Arushi could crack it and in her own words, ‘ When I got placed at Flipkart it was hard to believe. Took almost a day to sink in’. We at TopTalent spoke to Arushi from BITS-Goa about her Flipkart experience and what are her suggestions for aspirants looking to achieve something similar.

TopTalent: What job offers did you have get apart from Flipkart?

Apart from Flipkart.com I had an offer from Housing.com – A mumbai based start up.

TopTalent: How do you feel on achieving this feat?

When I got placed at housing it was hard to believe. Took almost a day to sink in. Getting placed at Flipkart was a similar experience. Felt good that I had offers from 2 such awesome companies.

TopTalent: Why did you choose this opportunity over others?

Choosing Flipkart was but natural having worked there for a year as an intern. Also Flipkart is neither a fully fledged multinational nor a start-up any more. This presents a perfect learning opportunity

TopTalent: How was the whole internship experience with Flipkart?

I actually had two internships with Flipkart, for 6 months each. I was pretty raw when I first came. But all the people were pretty patient and their main aim was to teach me. Getting the work completed actually was at a lower priority. The second internship was better. It was a very open-ended and fuzzy problem which involved quite new technology. I was given complete freedom to explore solutions and solve the given problem in the best possible way. It was a very different experience and definitely helped me grow a lot. All the engineers, no matter how busy will always have time to listen and give suggestions regarding any technical problem you go to them with.

TopTalent: What kind of skills do you think helped you in getting this job?

I think apart from technical knowledge being a fast learner and persistence is important. Also, a very important thing seen in Flipkart is the sense of ownership everyone has. No matter what designation a person is at.

TopTalent: What’s your advice to students who are aspiring for similar kind of achievement?

The usual technical knowledge and knack for problem-solving. The interview at Housing was pretty straightforward. It was mostly based on the work done in Flipkart. And a few puzzle-solving.
