Process

The interview process took about 5 hours. I talked to people from senior engineer to VP of the product line. The questions they asked were pretty technical. Started from Java-related questions, architecture design, and design patterns. It ended up pretty well. I got the offer letter in the mail two days after.

SAP Work Experiences

Good salaries and benefits, but too corporate

Engineering • Current Employee

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Pros: Good salaries and benefits. Also, a good reputation on the market that will help you to advance using SAP experience outside of SAP.

Cons: Decision making and the appointment of management makes less and less sense every year. Career opportunities are often not based on merit but on office nepotism. Permanent reorgs. Corporate fluff.
