I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Dec 2011
Interview
Firtsly, a presentation was given by the officials about the company followed by a computer based test comprising of both mental ability and C/C++ related questions. The shortlisted candidates were called for interviews the next day. The interview consisted of two rounds- one each of technical and hr round. Both were elimination rounds. Finally, the results were declared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No such unexpected questions came up in technical round related to C/C++/DS as I was prepared for it. But I was asked a puzzle which surprised me but I answered it after giving some thought. The question was, "Suppose there is a bridge with a time bomb planted on it which will explode in 17 mins. There are four persons namely A,B,C and D on one side of the bridge who need to be evacuated, who take 10 min, 5 min, 2 min and 1 min respectively. The is only one torch which needs to be carried while crossing the bridge and at most two persons can cross at a time and they take the maximum time out of the two.Suggest a way so that all of them cross the bridge before it explodes.
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.
