Representative practice questions
These are practice questions written for this guide. They are not claimed to be questions this company has asked.
Write SQL that finds, for each product category, the top three products by revenue during a sale event, handling ties.
Design a pipeline that keeps order and inventory dashboards fresh during a large sale with traffic many times higher than normal.
How would you design a CDC pipeline from an orders database to the analytics platform without loading the production database?
A daily revenue table shows double the expected value for one day. How do you investigate and fix it?
Tell me about a time you handled a system under unusually high load.
Preparation overview
Prepare in three areas: technical fundamentals, data system design, and behavioural stories. E-commerce data spikes during sale events, so scale, peak load and correctness of order data are sensible themes to prepare; they are our suggestion, not a description of Flipkart’s interviews.
Technology focus
Revise SQL ranking, idempotent loads and Spark performance: window functions, idempotent batch pipelines, data skew.
System-design focus
Practise the CDC platform and real-time analytics case studies.
Behavioural preparation
Read the preparation resource on Flipkart’s careers site closest to your role, and prepare specific stories about ownership, scale and mistakes you fixed.
