The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAP (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2011
Interview
Asked about my previous projects and technologies I've been using. Because they are working on a new Java EE project they focused on my Java experience. Talked about Struts, Hibernate. Some database design questions. Like what is replication and why would you want it? But nothing too specific. A bit on the frontend, general HTML\CSS, AJAX, jQuery, but again nothing too specific, just making sure that I know what I was talking about.

Tell us about your experience in software development.
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.
