I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Dec 2020
Interview
I was interviewed for senior devops engineer role. Funny part was, no HR got involved in the first 5 rounds and interviewers themselves setting up the interview slots. I was fine with that.
1. technical round 1 ( He was more interested in telling what he knows, but had some patience to listen to me, he selected me for the next round)
2. Technical round 2 (Interviewer was yawning when I was giving answers, which was worst experience ever)
3. Technical round 3 (Best person to interact with, I was very happy to interact with)
4. Manager round (good interaction)
5. Behavioral and tech round (Outside of hiring tam, again interaction was good)
6. cultural fit round ( Person from Europe took the round, he was more interested to know why I had many switches, I was ok with it)
7. HR round (She asked about my switches, how much compensation raise during each switch, I was ok with it)
Then no update from the recruiter. Only last two rounds were scheduled by the recruiter and she never replied until I asked for it. After waiting for couple days I withdrawn my application. Again no one bothered to contact me, why I withdrawn the application.
Worst Bangalore HR team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How internet works ;)
2. kubernetes/docker related questions
First and second round is good and they are positive and they schedueld for half an hour but asked for 2hrs and later on no reponse from them , started ghosting and after few days they send your resume is not short listed but i already shortlisted and done with two rounds , so lot of politics and ghosting going there
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SAP in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview was scheduled pretty fast, the first of two rounds was with a recruiter - she was very well-informed about the position (way more than what you'd expect during HR rounds) so by the time I was invited to the second round, I had a general idea about the position. The second round was a technical one, with the hiring manager and two other people from the team. Overall I was amused by the no-nonsense approach, would recommend. The technical round was a bit difficult (partially because I had some gaps with some of the technologies they were asking about), They've also provided feedback about the interview when I asked for it, so I could brush up my skills on some of the things I might've missed.
I applied at the Signavio team and the experience was not great. Obnoxious i'd say. There were a hacker-rank round followed by a tedious coding exercise where my solution was rejected because of lamest of reasons. Whoever assessed my solution had zero understanding of how to curate a proper coding challenge nor write a proper readme around what the expected solution is supposed to look like, But then i realized its impossible to please idiots and moved on. To the recruiter: Be clearer in your discourse. And don't be in a hurry to reject someone. The candidate should be presented with the best opportunity to succeed and not fail!
