I applied online. I interviewed at SAP (Pune) in Jul 2018
Interview
It was supposed to be a Skype interview but the interviewer didn't turn up and the recruiter is unreachable. They don't respond to emails and they don't think it is important to inform the candidate if there is a change in interview schedule.

Question 1
An interview was scheduled and I was asked to join through skype, where the interview didn't show up. I tried contacting the recruitment team. I sent them multiple emails, tried calling them, but haven't received any response. I have given lot of interviews in the past but have never seen such unprofessional behavior anywhere.
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.

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.
