I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Jul 2021
Interview
Two rounds of technical interviews, heavy on DS/Algo, Database querying and design, Java programming, Object-Oriented design.
One Managerial/Director round, which was also very technical. The director was very sharp and was able to understand the depths of all the projects I have worked upon and was asking very pointed questions regarding the design and approach to the problems involved.
One round of non LOB, again technical.
One HR round, with a very humble approach towards trying to know you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. Design an E-Commerce website- the API design, and the systems to support the API.
Erst Coding Challange. Dann Coding Interview und abschließend Assesment Center. Alles online über Teams. Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Natürlich alles auf Englisch. Es geht nicht darum was man in der Vergangenheit gemacht hat sondern was man kann. Rein fachlich erst mal.

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Feb 2021
Interview
Scheduled a tech round and interviewed with 2 people in the same round. These were the most incompetent interviewers i have encountered in my entire life. SAP wants people who are not technically strong as it reduces competition for them in internal promotions as bunch of fools are in the company for like 15-20 yrs.

Question 1
I have around 8 years work experience in the industry and the interviewers first set of questions were related to creating a Java file from mac terminal and printing my name. lol :D
I was then bombarded with all theory questions like difference between REST and HTTP, types of user authentication, DBMS query etc and REST API design for some scenario. End of my interview i was asked one coding question related to stack which i completed in 5 mins and spent the next 20 mins explaining the logic to the interviewer. At SAP i don't think they interview for one's DS/algo/system design skills as they need incompetent people like them. I was rejected the next week as i had already prayed to god that i don't want to work with such people.
