I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Sofia, )
Interview
I was approached by a recruited in LinkedIn, we had a phone conversation and then an interview was scheduled for 10 days later. The interview took a little more than 1h, a team manager, a HR and myself. First we had a general talk about them- what they do, and me- what's driving me to change career. Then came the technical part. It was not tough, but boy I had underestimated the importance of being solid rock prepared for fundamental CS questions.
Got a homework assignment: write and deploy a web based 3D tic-tac-toe game featuring js frontend, user registration and game persistence across sessions.
I applied online. I interviewed at SAP (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
I was asked to explain the work I had done in my previous job which was related to the position. The interview also involved a code review question and a coding question.

Question 1
The coding question was pretty straightforward. It involved use of common data structures and a fairly easy greedy algorithm.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
There are 5 rounds 1-1 interviews. 4 algorithm white board question, one project you did related questions and behavior questions. The interviewers are very unprofessional. I wrote the algorithm on the white board, but the ridiculous is that one interviewer didn't understand your solution at all even with explanation. Another one did not exactly understand the answer, and insisted that the answer is not right. I am so disappointed at the interview experience at SAP Palo Alto. Even they gave me offer, I would reject it. The reason I don't want to work with this kind of team members that are not nice, not capable and not professional.

Permutation, palindrome, nothing difficult or special.
