It was ok, hiring manager was cool, asking about motivation and experience, they are looking for someone who's communicative and open. Show your interest in a company and what you're supposed to do in this role and you'll be fine

After that she asked me different algo and also asked me to draw flow diagram of selection sort, its complexity advantages, disadvantages etc. After that she asked me a question, to which I solved the question completely and then optimized it to best possible solution.

Question 1
DBMS, Data Structure, Medium Level Implementation questions
It was long, but the process was also transparent. The recruiter was also nice, but there were basic questions, so don’t get too technical. I recommend studying basic technical concepts, but I didn’t make it past this round.
I applied online. I interviewed at SAP (Potsdam) in Feb 2026
Interview
Process was 30min get-to-know, 60 tech interview and 1 onsite day. Tech Interview was about reviewing "AI generated" code and making improvement suggestions. Completely doable and fair, but a BIG negative was that I applied with Java and TypeScript knowledge, but got asked to refactor Python code in the tech interview. I did NOT apply for a Python position. I even asked which language would be used during the get-to-know and got told "you will be able to choose". Please let your candidates know if you're planning to test them in a specific languages in order to give them a fair chance to prepare.
