I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I had applied in may and got a mail from the recruiter in Oct.They needed a full-time intern. The recruiter was nice and she arranged phone-screen initial interview in a week. The interview went well and the manager informed me that there will be another technical round and the recruiter will inform me about the dates. But later I did not hear anything back from them, after dropping few follow-up mail I was informed that they will pursue another candidate.I was a bit surprised since the manager had said there will another round and I was very excited about the job but non-the-less the process was good and the manager was very friendly, so I appreciated the opportunity to know about SAP and its product.
Few ques were
Online assessment with role-based MCQs and coding questions, followed by two technical rounds, concluding with final HR round for cultural fit and offer discussion.Technical Round 1: Core concepts, data structures, algorithms. May include live coding or system design based on experience level. Technical Round 2: Deeper dive into projects, advanced problem-solving, and role-specific tech stacks. Often with senior engineers or team leads.
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.
