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

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Flipkart
Interview
Mostly behavioural and background/experience oriented. There was a technical depth round that lacked technical depth of any sort and felt amateurish. The interviewer was not sure what he was looking for and came in unprepared. Senior leadership and HR were polite, courteous and transparent.

Team management style
