Applied online. Got contacted to conduct phone interview screening. Connected with two engineers over Skype. Asked about projects and web development questions. About 45 minutes each. One engineer was very kind and asked about interesting area of me to lead the conversation.

Basic information about HTTP, Javascript, backend, SQL, etc.
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
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.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SAP (Potsdam) nel mese di feb 2026
Colloquio
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.
