It was ok, hiring manager was cool, asking about motivation and experience, they are looking for someone who's communicative and open. Show your interest in a company and what you're supposed to do in this role and you'll be fine
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Potsdam) in Mar 2017
Interview
There was an offline test conducted before I had face to face interview.
offline test will be creating some small project.
I was interviewed in Potsdam location, where I had to face 3 rounds of interview.
1-> Technical (tip: Know your basics, Design patterns are important)
2-> Case study round( tip: Know your domain, I was asked to explain complete architecture of the previous project including hardware limitations and pros and cons of moving it to cloud)
3-> Hr+ manager round(tip: Be prepared for question on your notice, salary, expectations and motivation)
each of these rounds lasted for 1 hour each.
It was long, but the process was also transparent. The recruiter was also nice, but there were basic questions, so don’t get too technical. I recommend studying basic technical concepts, but I didn’t make it past this round.
I applied online. I interviewed at SAP (Potsdam) in Feb 2026
Interview
Process was 30min get-to-know, 60 tech interview and 1 onsite day. Tech Interview was about reviewing "AI generated" code and making improvement suggestions. Completely doable and fair, but a BIG negative was that I applied with Java and TypeScript knowledge, but got asked to refactor Python code in the tech interview. I did NOT apply for a Python position. I even asked which language would be used during the get-to-know and got told "you will be able to choose". Please let your candidates know if you're planning to test them in a specific languages in order to give them a fair chance to prepare.
