I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Maidenhead, England) in Jan 2011
Interview
Pretty straightforward. Contacted via agency pre-Christmas, who set up telephone interview with internal recruiter in early January. Had interview with hiring manager and his boss within a week, followed by panel interview and presentation a week later. Informally offered there and then, with formal offer a week later. Whole recruitment process from initial company contact took less than a month. Pretty slick.
4 rounds of interviews with multiple stake hold ers of various roles and roles and 4 rounds of interviews with multiple stake hold ers of various roles and roles and responsibilities
first there is an interview with HR, and then a bootcamp with group activities that where hold in presence in their office. At the end they decided based on these two meetings
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a challenge that you had and how have you managed it
Quite basic, three interviews, one case interview and assessment centre. It was a long process and they start their cycle slower than everyone else. That being said the interview process is not stressful and allows to be yourself
