I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SAP in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview experience was poorly managed. I received a rescheduling email with minimal notice, just 1.5 hours before the scheduled time. The hiring system's communication channels were inefficient, making it difficult to get quick responses.
The interview process lacked clarity, with inconsistent approaches across different teams. The on-site interview setup was unprofessional - I was seated in a working area instead of a proper meeting room. Additionally, the team struggled to establish a video connection with an overseas team member, further complicating the interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Jun 2024
Interview
It's incredibly frustrating to have aced a technical interview and after answering all of the questions only to be met with radio silence from HR despite multiple follow-ups; it's an unprofessional way to reject a candidate.
