I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Philadelphia, PA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Very political. Difficult to get through the recruiters. The only chance to interview is by sending a resume to a friend who works there. Most jobs posted online are already hired internally or by internal recommendation. So dont get disappointed if you apply and there is no reply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Depends on the department you are interviewing for. Some have round table phone interviews. Most will have a initial meeting with the hiring manager followed by one or 1-4 people doing phone interviews(optional). If you are lucky you may get to see your hiring manager and additional confidants/peers of the hiring manager in person.
Interview questions are typically very basic. If you are in SAP space which is a tiny space your backgrounds are already checked, LinkedIn profiles and resumes are verified. Nothing crazy to get past the interview process.
