Hi, I recently joined Flipkart as SDE 1. My goal is to work in any prestigious companies. Is Flipkart really prestigious outside India?
Solve for career growth and learning instead. Spend time becoming a great engineer, and opportunities and money will follow. If it's any consolation, US employers equate all your India experience to zero (unless it's with the exact same company).
Yes. Many silicon valley companies hire for their India offices here and they are well aware of Flipkart. It is a fairly respected company.
Nope. Only Indians really know about it. Non Indians heard the name that's all
My guess is that this company does GoKarts. Maybe i haven't hired enough Indians
As worthy as Wal-Mart or Wal-Mart Labs. If you want to stay in India, then pretty worthy. But then why wouldn't you join a growth team in OYO or something similar in Bytes&Atoms space?
Who?
WmtLabs Bangalore is very reputed. Search LinkedIn for the number of people from Labs, and from other companies in blore in general, who have made the move from B'lore to FB London, GS London, Google Zurich, Grab S'pore, Uber and Booking in Amsterdam etc. In addition, I m sure Wmt buying Flipkart for 17 Billion has made some news, so you should be good. If unsure, then there are too many other options in blore for a proper launch pad - try to move to a more internationally recognizable brand like LinkedIn, Uber, Google, Amazon etc ( I wouldn't count msft here. no offence but pretty weak brand value). If you want to move to the US, L1 or MS is your only option. For L1, you will be covered by definition, and for MS I think it's a hard reset to 0 unless you have considerable (5+) pre MS yoe
Lol Walmart looking down on Microsoft!
There's nothing to look down upon. Msft is a very good place to work at but so are Adobe eBay etc. If I am to pick 3 - 4 top names in Blore msft just doesn't make the cut - but that's just my personal opinion. The @Labs teams at WalmartLabs Bangalore on the other hand, was way cooler, way more high paying and orders of magnitude more difficult to get into. Things might be different now though, hence the past tense. Let me know when msft can offer 1 cr in India (20% hike from current) or 395K in US(10% hike from current) to 7 yoe - I would be happy to join.
Meh

@ngptr “I worked at flipkart for 1.7 years, my two of Batchmate are working with Google india.. I think answer is big YES” There is no connection there whatsoever. Your “batchmates” (whatever that means) working at Google has no impact on Flipkart’s prestige.
