Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3+ weeks)
Contacted by a recruiter for initial screening, followed by an online personality assessment and a phone interview with a current graduate academy participant. Invited to a full day interview at SAP US headquarters. The final round consisted of two 1:1 interviews, one 2:1 interview and one 10-minute presentation. While not interviewing, candidates were shuffled through series of presentations on SAP products. The interviews were completely fit-based with no technical question. Both MBAs and undergraduates can apply. There were 70 something candidates participating in the final round interview. There seems to be no functional difference between the current MBA hires and the undergraduate ones. I am curious how they compensate the hires.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Newtown Square, PA (took 3 weeks)
I am not sure how an online recruitment agency how my resume, possibly via monster. I had a brief phone interview following which I was told I would be interviewing with SAP America. The first recruiter who spoke to me asked me questions from a general questionnaire. I thought this interview did not go well since I found a lot of the question technical in nature, whereas I am a functional guy. She told me that she did not expect me to know everything. To my surprise, I got a call from a lead recruiter after two days.
Based on my experience I was offered to interview for two Associate level positions. Both the interviewing processes were held in parallel. Interview consisted of conversation related to my resume and consulting.To my astonishment, I was asked to come in for a face-to-face interview for both positions.
Position 1 - Manager phone interview + Face-to-face proposal
Position 2 - Manager phone interview + Platinum consultant phone interview + Face-to-face proposal.
The recruiter asked me to pick one position over the other and advised me that if this interviewing process didn't work out I would be able to interview for the other position. I preferred position 2 as it was more intimate to my background and I really connected to the manager over the phone.
I was called in for a face-to-face interview. I was flown to an airport and the manager met me at the airport and interviewed me there itself. It was a great interview and the manager was a pleasure to speak with. Near the conclusion I asked what I can expect next, and I was hinted that the recruiter will get in touch with me for an offer in the coming days.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
The phone interviewer was extremely unprofessional. He was working from home while engaging with people that were working on his home during the interview, he dropped the call and started the interview late. I thought I was being punked!

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Newtown Square, PA (took 4 weeks)
Applied through the website and emailed a recruiter directly. A different recruiter contacted me for an initial phone screen that took about 10 or 15 minutes. This call just confirmed my background, my eligibility for the program and my availability. The recruiter informed at the end of the call that me that she would recommend me for a phone interview with a manager.
The first phone interview was arranged over email.There was some back-and-forth and confusion (delayed emails, a missed call) relating to this phone interview. But once we connected, it was a pretty friendly chat. A lot of the questions were typical for a sales/business strategy/marketing rotational. The program is relatively new, so the managers do not have a lot of insight into exactly how the process works, but they can still explain the overall culture at SAP and what the company needs.
Within a week, I received an email from my original recruiter inviting me to onsite interviews. The interview date and time was changed a couple of times, but it was not too much of an imposition. For the interview, I was led into a small auditorium with about 15 fellow program candidates. We were then led individually conference rooms for 2:1 interviews with conference managers. These interviews were about a half hour to 45 minutes. The first was rather laid back, generally asking questions about my background and my interests and more conversational. I think I lost the job offer in the second interview, which was a bit more pointed. One asked questions about what areas of the graduate academy I was interested in. When I told him, he replied that the area I mentioned does not match my skill set, so apparently I had the wrong impression of the field. He also asked about my undergraduate GPA (I'm a graduate student who earned my BA 9 years ago).
I don't think I lost the position because I flubbed the interview per se. I think that I just didn't have the right answers.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Newtown Square, PA (took 3 weeks)
SAP called me to ask about my interest in a couple positions. I indicated interest in both and was selected for a phone interview for one. I was emailed for my availability.
My phone interview went well and I was given a practical assignment - to review a competitor's product and analyze it. My professors thought my work was great (I didn't ask for their opinion until after I sent it). At this point SAP arranged an in-person interview.
I arrived at SAP about 20 minutes before my scheduled interview. About 3 minutes before my time my HR contact came down and took me to the interview room, which was right around the corner from the entrance.
My interview was short (about 15 minutes). I was asked typical questions - why did you pick the majors you did, why are you interested in this position. I had the opportunity to connect with my interviewer at a couple points. I had been left with the opportunity the interview had gone well.
I was told I would be notified within two weeks; I received no notification after two weeks (I had on previous positions with SAP received automatic notification) so I followed up. I was ultimately not selected.'
I found it immensely frustrating as I had sincerely hoped to have the opportunity to work at SAP this summer.
The entire process gave me a weird perspective on SAP. You're pretty much ignored if you just apply online - this is not backed only by my experience, but those by others .Online applications are the only acceptable form of application though, so you have to apply online, then call an HR contact or university recruiter to get the ball rolling. SAP moves very slowly and you may have to push the ball yourself.
