I applied online. I interviewed at SAP (Walldorf, Baden-Wurttemberg) in Aug 2017
Interview
Erst zwei Telefoninterviews á 1 Stunde, dann vor Ort 3 Stunden Gespräche mit 3 verschiedenen Abteilungen. Die Gesprächspartner waren überhaupt nicht vorbereitet und haben sich über mich nicht informiert. Dementsprechend waren die Fragen auch völlig unzusammenhängend und teilweise wirr, man hat keinen roten Faden erkennen können.
Es wurde 100% Wissen getestet, wer also neben seinem Beruf Zeit hat die Unterlagen aus der Uni zu memorisieren oder frisch aus der Uni kommt hat wohl bessere Chancen als mit 10 Jahren Berufserfahrung.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen
Sehr spezifische Frameworks welche SAP einsetzt und nicht in der Stellenbeschreibung standen.
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.
