Cracking the SAP Labs interview, especially as a fresh graduate, can be made relatively easier by focusing on fundamental computer science knowledge and excelling in key areas such as Data Structures, Databases (SQL), and showcasing your engineering projects.
The typical interview process at SAP Labs consists of 4-5 rounds:
-
Online Technical Round: This round includes multiple-choice questions on Aptitude, Program Input/Output, as well as topics related to Operating Systems and Database Management Systems. Additionally, there are 2-3 coding questions. To succeed in this round, prioritize coding questions as they carry higher weightage compared to MCQs.
-
Face-to-Face Technical Rounds: In these rounds, a panel of 2-3 interviewers will assess your knowledge in Data Structures, Operating Systems, Databases, SQL queries, and inquire about your engineering projects. Be well-prepared with in-depth knowledge of your projects and resume, as questions will likely be focused there.
-
Managerial Round: During this round, you will interact with one of the managers from SAP Labs. Expect questions that test your managerial, communication, behavioral, and teamwork skills. Additionally, be ready for some commonly asked interview puzzles.
-
HR Round: This round typically does not require specific preparation. Maintain a calm and positive demeanor, and your interpersonal skills will be evaluated.
Once you successfully navigate all the rounds, the final result will be announced either on the same day or the following day.
