I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP in Dec 2016
Interview
The recruiter set me up for an in person interview the day after I applied. Then I sent her a list of questions and she didn't reply until the night before my interview, claiming she missed my email.
There were two interviews of one hour each with some white boarding questions and past experience questions. The first interview was OK but the second was horrible. The interviewers were snobby and disinterested. One of the managers seemed like a real ball breaker. Thanks but no thanks. I've worked in places like that before. It wouldn't work out for me.
To put a nail in the coffin the recruiter sent me an email saying they'd be sending me an offer and then tried to withdraw the email. I tried calling her and leaving messages and sending emails but she didn't reply for a week when she finally told me they wouldn't be moving forward with my application. Very unprofessional.

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.
Interview process was okayish, focused on candidates with AI and RAG skills, if you have built projects you have a chance, otherwise you may be rejected after the online test.
