I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at SAP (Downers Grove, IL) in Nov 2011
Interview
3 or 4 phone interviews, starting with HR screening. Demonstration in front of management to prove presales skills. Ended up taking 4 months. Had weeks where there was a lot of "action", then wouldn't hear anything for weeks. Phone interviews were very easy, didn't seem like they meant anything.

Question 1
How will you adjust to a large company coming from a small organization? What will you do to become successful? What will you do day one to succeed.

Interview
My interview process took several months and only after joining the company did I understand why. The team is mostly remote so they are hiring for people that not only have the aptitude and enthusiasm to do well, but also the understanding and discipline to self-motivate/educate. First round consisted of a call with the manager, second round was an in person meeting, third was a virtual demo, and last was an in person demo followed by several phone calls with various people I'd be working with or for. The recruiter was completely removed from the process and seemed out of touch with what the role was about - even being on the inside now my sentiment is that the recruiting & hr teams are not in tune with the company which can extend the hiring cycle. Overall, SAP is an awesome company with a strong, clear vision and ample resources to train you... that's really all that matters.

Interview
3 Phone interviews, first call was with recruiter, asked some general questions about my experience, CV, education. Second call was with manager, who talked a bit more about the job, expectations, etc. Third call was with manager, who asked me for a potential business/solution idea and asked me to demo it as if I were in front of a customer

Interview
Interview process is different for each hiring manager, but generally includes phone interview, followed by in person interview with a required presentation in front of several managers. The entire process was fairly painless (as much as any interview process can be!)
