Der gesamte Prozess dauerte etwa vier Wochen. Es begann mit einem Telefoninterview mit dem Entwicklungsmanager. Eine Woche später erhielt ich eine E-Mail von demselben Manager, die mich zu einem persönlichen Gespräch einlud. Der Prozess verlief reibungslos, obwohl er sehr wettbewerbsintensiv war, da nur eine Stelle zur Verfügung stand. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass mein Interview sehr gut verlief und war ziemlich sicher, dass ich den Job bekommen würde. Eine Woche später erhielt ich jedoch eine E-Mail, in der mir mitgeteilt wurde, dass ein anderer Bewerber, dessen Profil attraktiver erschien, ausgewählt wurde. Leider erhielt ich kein Feedback oder weitere Erklärungen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical questions were mostly related to what i had written in my CV, from Cloud to Development.
Applied as a fresher, before the interview had a coding assessment with two questions, one easy difficulty and one medium.
After that got the call for the coding round interview, here they asked varying questions from live coding on a language of my choice with DSA questions and even system design questions, interview was around 45 minutes long. After that got the call for the managerial round, here general questions were asked about SAP, the manager wanted to see if I had shown an interest in the company and researched. Then some common questions like career path, etc. Was also told to research a technology I hadn’t worked with live on call and explain it to the manager. After that I got the HR interview call, this was just standard salary discussion etc.
