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 through a recruiter. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Nov 2020
Interview
Applied via company's career site.
After screening of resume received a mail for the first technical interview.
#Total 4 rounds- Technical - I , Technical - II, Managerial, Final HR Round.
All the rounds are elimination rounds.
1st technical was all about my resume , the interviewers wanted to check my basic knowledge in SAP BASIS and wanted to know if am open to learn new skills like scripting if the job demands.
2nd Technical- In depth questions on kernel upgrade, troubleshooting, client copies, HANA monitoring, TMS etc.
3rd round ( Managerial) : This was a non-tech round. Situational questions were asked to check upon cultural fit and my responses in critical work environment. I was asked about my career timeline and why I want to join SAP. My future career plan?
4th round (HR) : What are my strengths, weakness? Why SAP? Salary discussion.
*All the interviewers were very professional and supportive. They tried to make me feel comfortable before jumping into Technical or Managerial questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Kernel upgrade, memory allocation, Dump analysis, Cancelled Background job troubleshooting, TMS, HANA DB monitoring , SCOT.
*Should be well versed in whatever mentioned in the resume.
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.
