I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Nov 2012
Interview
I have an aweful interview exp with SAP labs Bangalore for JAVA/JavaScript/HTML5/RDBMS etc.. Hope it will be helpful whoever is going to attend interview over there. There is no common process for all the candidates.One thing is good that they dont call too many candidates which make you feel special. I attended with other 10 candidates face to face out of which 6 were sent back after 1st round only.
I am a java guy so my two tech rounds happened well. Although 2nd round I would have answered 50 % of questions but I was through in 2nd round as well.
3rd round was managerial round according to HR who was taking me to interview rooms. But when I went inside I met a most frustrated lady interviewer till date. She was shouting in interview. I don't what her problem was whether personal or something else. This lady told me this is going to be technical round as well. She went on asking question like quick fire round. I answered all her questions except some dbms questions which I told her that I have not touched since 2 yrs. After this interview HR came to me and told you did not clear managerial round. I was shocked what kind of managerial round was that... 1 more guy was told the same thing. I don't know about other 2 guys who were waiting for their so called managerial round. I would not have written this blog if I would have benrejected in 2nd round where I didnot ans most of questions but getting rejected in managerial round is frustrating even after answering 80 % of questions. I think they are just conducting the interview process for showing upper management. They would have already filled the slots with their relatives because they did not select any single candidate. That lady sucks..

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.
