I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SAP (Tiruchchirāppalli) in Sept 2015
Interview
Hiring process was quite normal. There was first an online round consisting of C, C++ technical questions with two coding questions after that two technical rounds with questions on OOPS concepts and DBMS and one managerial round to test managerial abilities. Then, finally was the HR round, it was normal just nice talking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question were asked on C, C++, OOPs.
There were questions on arrays and strings.
They have given me to draw ER Diagram of some College Student scenario.
They asked how will you implement your own indexing method for database.
Distributed Computing concepts, how would you achieve it, what are the key point you should have to take care of.
There were question on Inheritance, give real life example.
How runtime polymorphism related to inheritance.
Online assessment with role-based MCQs and coding questions, followed by two technical rounds, concluding with final HR round for cultural fit and offer discussion.Technical Round 1: Core concepts, data structures, algorithms. May include live coding or system design based on experience level. Technical Round 2: Deeper dive into projects, advanced problem-solving, and role-specific tech stacks. Often with senior engineers or team leads.
I applied online. I interviewed at SAP (Brno) in Jun 2026
Interview
3 rounds of interviews: quick prescreening call with HR, on-site meeting with the manager, and a tech call with the lead engineer.
Prescreening was as usual. On the same day, I got a call from the manager and planned a second round for the next workday.
The second round was the most important. First quick introduction, then easy puzzle, then 15 min of technical questions (OOP, basic programming principles, Relational DBs, etc) - pretty easy, nothing too deep. Then, about 40 minutes talk about previous experience, position, hobbies, and other basic topics. Very pleasant and friendly, good atmosphere.
The third round was very quick - no live coding, a couple of architectural questions, static code analysis, and how to improve it (N+1 problem), SQL questions, overall around 10-15 minutes.
Received an offer a couple of days after. The whole process was clean, friendly, and fast at every level.

I interviewed at SAP (Walldorf, Baden-Wurttemberg)
Interview
The SAP interview process included an initial screening, technical discussion, problem-solving questions, experience-based conversations, and behavioral assessment, followed by an opportunity to discuss role expectations and ask questions with interviewers.
