I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Flipkart (Bengaluru) in Mar 2021
Interview
Interview date March 2021 Streamlined interview process with excellent scheduling and regular communication with HR. Machine Coding (2.5h) DS/Algo (1h) System Design (1h) Hiring manager (30 min) HR Discussion(30 min). AlThough the debrief and final responses took some time(8-9 days).
4 online rounds -
1. Machine coding round - 90 mins + 30mins explanation next day - went extremely well.
2. DSA round - 45 mins - 2med ques - went okayish
3. System Design round - 1 hour - went very well
4. Hiring Manager round - 45 mins - went well
They they kept on hanging for 2 weeks saying other recruiter will be discussing with you, they are on leave, some day hiring manager is busy etc.. and then told we will be taking one more round because we suspect AI usage in 1st round. (Why did they not discover in the 30 mins explanation round ?)
After 2-3 weeks of irrelevant responses, the recruiter told that we don't have openings, we are not able to accommodate even those candidates whom we have given the offer.
Then next week they again posted openings on LinkedIn
Interview questions [1]

2. DSA round - 45 mins - 2 med ques - DP + Tree
3. System Design round - 1 hour
4. Hiring Manager round - 45 mins
Good, interview joined late though. Medium level data structures and algorithm questions. Faced a lot of pressure during low level design interview. Machine coding round was coordinated and handled well, learnt a lot.
