Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
I got the news about the job through some mailing list I subscribe to. I don't remember which one it was. I then found a a friend's friend working with that organization and had them forward my resume to the hiring manager. Then I had a couple of fon interviews with the hiring manager and the second in command followed by another with the hiring manager's boss followed by an onsite visit and face-to-face chat with the other stakeholders.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 1+ week)
I got a phone interview call for QA testing, considering my background in SAP. But I didn't have any experience in coding and probably they were looking out for individual for test automation. The interview was more about the coding skills, which I was not able to demonstrate due to my lack of experience in it. I got rejected a week later, which anyway I was expecting.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Palo Alto, CA (took 1+ week)
I was interviewed by the VP and it was a phone interview. It was a behavior based interview and did not directly touch upon any knowledge required for the position. My interview was scheduled for 10 days after the initial HR contact, and I was told the next day that somebody else had been seleceted, which gave me the impression that the interviewer's mind had been already made up and she was just going through the motions.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Two engineers asked the common questions, such as walk me through your resume, then moved to more detailed check on the technical area trying to find a fit in what they are looking for. They asked some technical questions, and let me to solve some problems on the spot. It is typical.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2+ weeks)
The interview process was smooth and cordial. If you are a college hire, SAP Labs invites you for a get together before the in-person interviews. Make sure that you mingle and talk to the people present. Some of them could be your interviewers. It is important that you have a good recruiter who can guide you through the process.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Newtown Square, PA (took 2+ weeks)
Employee referral. Travelled to a location for a series of back-to-back organized interviews with peers and employees related to the job and other areas of the company. Two interviews followed by phone. Decision made within a month. Offer made over the phone and written. Accepted the offer but process after the interview was extremely painful, due to HR processes which were dependent on employees on vacation. There was no empowerment or escalation path to get the hiring process under an acceptable timeframe.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 5 days)
I was contacted by a recruiter and was immediately introduced to the hiring manager who flew 3000 miles to meet with me. The next week I was flown cross country to meet the executive team and have dinner with several of the employees. All very first class and thorough. The offer came about two weeks later and it was a complete package with complete benefits and competitive salary.

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took 2 weeks)
A recruiter found my resume on-line. Called me for a pre-screen. Scheduled phone interview wtih hiring manager, all this within 3 days. Flew me the following week to meet with hiring manager. He and I met in an airport for about 90 minutes. Received the offer later that week. It was difficult to assess culture from this interview process, so I had to reach out to people that I knew at the company for this info. The culture is one of a huge reliance on meeting numbers, even for the sake of meeting numbers. Value can be sacrificed to make your numbers in many situations.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate other than to provide my salary history. I was taking a reduction in salary so they put me at the higher end of the range available. They have rather tight salary ranges, so don't ask for an unreasonably high salary in the thoughts of negotiating because if you are too far outside the range you likely won't be hired.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Philadelphia, PA (took 2 weeks)
As a large corporation SAP has 'companies within the company'. Your interview experience will depend upon which group you end up interviewing with (as each has it's own unique specifics).
As a company SAP generally looks for people with a specific vertical experience (i.e. Financial Services, Automotive etc). They also always prefer poeple who have some type of SAP experience (either as part of the partner ecosystem or direct experience as a customer etc).
Inteview process is relatively straightforward.
1. Phone screening from HR
2. Phone interview with hiring Manager
3. In person interview
4. Reference background check.
5. Offer/negotiation.
SAP generally will make a salary offer that is competitive BUT know what a job is worth since like any company if they can get you cheap they will.

Negotiation Details
In my case there was not much need for negotiation, they made a very solid offer. They will move on salary so do not be afraid to ask.
