I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Newtown Square, PA) in Aug 2014
Interview
Interview process is slow, hiring timelines are long and can get cut without notice. Sometimes managers lose headcount by not hiring fast enough!
I interviewed unofficially in March and then officially August and was hired at the end of in September. Process was apply on SAP site-->interview-->wait-->background check-->negotiate letter-->orientation 2 weeks after signing letter and submitting final paperwork.
Recruiters will try to low ball the salary, which is to be expected, and (while this didn't happen to me) one of my coworkers was told "to try to negotiate is rude"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were a pencil, stuck in a glass jar/bottle, what would you do to get out?
The interview process was structured, well described and easy to follow. I met with an hr recruiter and then the team that I would be supporting. Very professional and clear for the most part
Normal interview, 3 steps in the process, treated with respect and managed to speak to executive team quite easily. ended up with an offer but did not take up due to personal reasons.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Potsdam)
Interview
Reibungsloser Ablauf, klare Kommunikation.
Rückruf und Kommunikation via E-Mail lief sehr unkompliziert. Die Fragen waren standartisiert. Sehr netter Empfang in der Zentrale in Potsdam. Vorab hat man per Mail klare Anweisungen für die Anfahrt erhalten. Zum Einstellungsverfahren kann ich nichts sagen, da mir kein Angebot gemacht worden ist.
