I applied in-person. I interviewed at SAP (Garching b.München) in Aug 2024
Interview
Started from introduction. Next is the discussion about their products and what they do. At first it was OK and even slightly interesting, then it became obvious that the interviewers were not prepared to ask me questions. They started to ask nonsensical questions like "how another person would describe you" or "why you started your studies" with awkward silence in between, deciding who of the two will come up with next question. Simultaneously they provided zero answers about what the team will be doing in 6 month time scale and who are they looking for exactly and why they chosen me.
Generic rejection week later.

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.
