Round 4 : Techno-Managerial Round(60 mins)

In this round, I was interviewed by a Senior EM at Flipkart, where we discussed my profile and experience.

I was asked to discuss a problem statement in one of my projects and the technical solution for it in granular mode. Hence it turned into a technical discussion about the scope of the problem, business case, coding, deployment etc. Was asked some questions related to solving it differently, what could’ve been done better, enhancements and all. Since this was a complete microservices project, I had to explain the entire ecosystem as well as where it fits.

Then followed some questions on NFRs and design to give an idea of the High-Level Architecture of the same. Also, some questions related to DevOps, pipelines and why a particular deployment setup was chosen.

Since I had mentioned working on Redis, some questions on Redis clustering and replication were asked.

Some scenario-based questions on both Technical and behavioural aspects were also being asked and the interviewer was pretty awesome and made me comfortable in conveying things the way I wanted to.

Some more questions about how I handled and fixed some incident/bug/ downtime issues and how I took ownership of certain tasks.

Finally a short discussion about my experience and role so far, and how I have developed over time.

This round was over around 10 mins before time but the interviewer was satisfied overall.

Round 5: HM Connect

This was just a normal connection with the hiring manager discussing the technical ecosystem, the LOBs, team structure, culture fitment and understanding of the role. I had a few follow-up questions and the manager was very well-spoken and responded very clearly. It was great to get some insights into the organization and understand the scale at which tech operates there. Also talked about individual progression, benefits and most importantly the Engineering culture....
