I interviewed at Flipkart a month back. The interview process was smooth. Cleared all the interviews but they are now ghosting the candidates. Not sure about others but for the last 3 weeks they are ghosting and finally I gave up hearing from them.

Hiring Manager Interview
Got a call after 3 days to submit the documents.
Didn't hear from Flipkart since then. Tried calling them, emailing them multiple times but no response to date.
Probably the worst ghosting experience.
It was an interesting interview. Had a mix of coding, problem solving and design discussions. The interview experience for me was a good learning experience, the interviewers were warm and friendly. They were very interested in my experience.
