Interviewed Dec 2011 in Dublin, County Dublin (Ireland) (took a day)
Asked about my previous projects and technologies I've been using. Because they are working on a new Java EE project they focused on my Java experience. Talked about Struts, Hibernate. Some database design questions. Like what is replication and why would you want it? But nothing too specific. A bit on the frontend, general HTML\CSS, AJAX, jQuery, but again nothing too specific, just making sure that I know what I was talking about.

Reason for Declining
I actually did not, I still have time to "think about it". It's just not my first choice and I am waiting on other places.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 7+ weeks)
Phone interview -> 3 Hour test -> Product Manager Interview -> Executive Interview -> HR interview -> Salary and benefits meeting.
Between each stage was at least a 2 week waiting period.
They apparently interview hundreds of candidates for a single position so it is very unlikely to be accepted. It is especially irritating that they don't even recomponsate you for all the effort, time, and gas that you put in to these interviews. I even got a parking ticket because my car didn't have a SAP sticker.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)
I was selected to SAP LABS from campus (PESIT, Bangalore) on October 2011. The cut off required to attend the aptitude test was 7 GPA / 70%. There were a total of 3 rounds.
The first round was an online aptitude round which had 95 questions. There was 90 minutes to answer with sectional timing. The various sections were Verbal, Analytic and Technical. 33 people out of a total of 250 cleared the online round.
Second round was a technical interview and I was asked questions from most of the core CS subjects in my undergrad course. 15 people cleared this round.
Third round was a HR round and it involved me talking about why I wanted to work at SAP LABS. Also I was required to talk about my final project and there was a coding question as well in the HR round. 12 people were give offers from PESIT (and PESSE) .
I found the people to be very nice and friendly and was impressed with the way they went about with the selection process. The culture seemed very relaxed and informal judging by the fact that students dressed in casual T shirts and jeans were also offered jobs. (Some companies like Goldman Sachs required students to come dressed in business casuals for their interview).
Advice to other Candidates: Be technically strong for the aptitude test and in the interview be in a relaxed state and be yourself.
Interview Questions
What are the various software design patterns , Explain the OSI model with functions of each layer , what is page faults and thrashing , explain all the normal forms and demonstrate 3NF and BCNF normalisation with a sample database , explain the implementation of heapsort .

Since this was a campus offer, there were no negotiations.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 3 days)
I had 2 technical 1:1. They mainly focused on analytical & data structure skills. I did well and all i got positive response. But HR is very unprofessional. He had never updated me anything regarding the progress. No Proper mail communication from HR even after i completed all the rounds of interview. Whenever i call & ask regarding the status , he replied it will take one more day. Then again i called him after a week. His reply was "Sorry you have not cleared the interview". HR Result it seems. Then he was not the HR of SAP for the past 1week whenever i ask the status? . why cant he just send an update? It's a worst experience with these kind of HR.
