Flipkart | SDE-1 | 2024 grad | Selected

I applied for the SDE-1 role at Flipkart through an HR form circulated on LinkedIn. My interview process began with an online test that comprised three coding questions. After a waiting period of about 10-12 days, I received a selection email, and my first Problem Solving/Data Structures (PS/DS) round was scheduled. In this round, I was asked two coding questions: Symmetric Tree and Maximal Square. I managed to solve Symmetric Tree in about 15-20 minutes and Maximal Square in approximately 30 minutes. Following this, I quickly moved to the next PS/DS round, which took place the very next day. This round involved three questions: Minimum Number of Jumps to Reach End of a Given Array, Find Square Root of Number Up to Given Precision Using Binary Search (where the interviewer helped guide me towards the binary search approach, given the high constraints), and Sliding Window Maximum. I received an email within a few hours confirming I had cleared this round and would proceed to the Hiring Manager (HM) round. This round was initially postponed due to work emergencies but happened the following day, lasting about 50 minutes. It heavily focused on my internships, my favorite projects, and numerous behavioral questions. Five days later, I received my selection email, confirming the offer.
