The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Walldorf, Baden-Wurttemberg) in Mar 2015
Interview
This is the first time I ever stopped an interview midway. I applied for a position that specified video editing experience and German fluency under "Preferred Skills and Experience". But the woman insisted that we conduct the interview in German first, even if the tasks only require English skills, since the team in Germany is composed of mostly Germans (I am a native English speaker. My German is good but not good enough to ace an interview). Furthermore, they kept prodding me for my video editing and content creation experience--basically experiences and skills that were not explicitly specified as "Required". I would've gone through the motions and happily explained how my experiences fit what they're looking for, if the interviewer didn't keep interrupting me and using an aggressive tone. I wasn't about to spend to waste an hour of my time or theirs, so I said "I would like to stop this interview. I am not the person you are looking for." The next time you want someone who speaks German fluently and has video experience, just say so in your job description!
The preparation was highly streamlined and centered on core computer science fundamentals, with a strong emphasis on data structures and algorithms. The difficulty level was comparable to medium-level LeetCode problems, focusing on clarity of thought and efficient problem-solving
