Pros

above market salary to trap you into a bad environment

Cons

Reporting to an immature & inexperienced monkey is the worst danger at flipkart If you are joining the company, (1) Find out the names of all the folks that interviewed you and look up their Linkedin profiles - one of them will be your hiring manager. Ask yourself if you really want to report to the guy (2) Reject the first offer letter saying designation is not correct. They will get back in a couple of weeks with a revised designation. Extremely unprofessional trying to under-level you (3) Ask for the organizational structure and find out who are your peers (if they are a decade less experienced than you they are probably immature and you will have issues) and also how long they have been in the grade Net-net: if you have 10+ years of experience and have worked in professional companies, Flipkart is an 'avoid'. There are better companies out there. This is not a MNC but a 'lalla' indian company

Pros

1. The tech stack you get to work at Flipkart is probably one of the best in the country. 2. You get to work on microservices while also staying close to the infra. 3. The tech stack varies from team to team but in general, good tech is used in each org.

Cons

1. At times, work-life balance takes a major hit, commonly a few weeks before the sale events when there is deployment freeze and even the smallest of deployments have to go thorugh a large chain of approvals.
