Process
It was a campus drive. First, they conducted an aptitude test, which consisted of 25 aptitude questions and 2 coding questions. The first coding question was to write an easy function, and the second was to write a program of moderate difficulty. The third question was debugging code. The platform used was Mettle. I cleared the aptitude test.
Then there were 2 technical rounds, 1 managerial round, and 1 HR round. The interview panel comprised horrible people; they were least interested in what I was saying. They played with their phones while my interview was ongoing.
It was supposed to be a technical round, but they only asked me 2 technical questions and 4 puzzles. They also asked about my hobbies. I replied, 'Sketching.' They asked me to sketch anything (in a technical interview)! Are you kidding me? They took my whole day.
Questions
The famous 3 ants puzzle.
Maximum value of the smallest angle in a triangle, given one angle as 70°.
Fill the grids from 1-8, but the predecessor and successor should not be adjacent.
Some more puzzles:
Draw anything! Because I told my hobby is sketching.

SAP Work Experiences
- 4.0Caring Layoff, Slow ProjectsSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeFebruary 24, 2023Pros: I was part of the North America layoffs for SAP. I don't feel all too bad, because I thought SAP was rather courteous about it. Given the recent news of other companies' layoffs, I got a message ahead of time, a month of sort-of not-really "employment" (to look for another role in the company, if possible), and general help with my sort-of not-really "unemployment". I mention all this because SAP, and I, prided the company's "family" values. It did seem the company cared about the employees. During the pandemic and after, there wasn't a point where my arm was twisted and I was forced to do so-and-so. My team and I worked at our own pace and took the breaks we needed for our mental health, and we worked better for it. While I considered other opportunities in the past, this culture really stuck out to me and I felt this would have been rare in other companies. All the compensation in the world really doesn't touch upon this.Cons: That being said, I was bitter over not being bitter. I had been re-assigned to a different project last year, and it was intolerably difficult to affect any change. There is a prevalent sense the company should be Agile, but no one with any influence was willing to criticize very slow, essentially Waterfall practices. My team and other teams were re-assigned, but we had little training and were given few tasks to do. It would take several months to actually get features—fairly small in anyone's definition—shipped. New projects would be planned, and talent would not be assigned. It was a huge waste of resources. Meanwhile, our competitors were soldiering ahead. In this environment, one inevitably thinks about their own career. This hurt because I like the company. I understand Rome wasn't built in a day. And, with Scrum, it's not about blaming anyone. But that's my honest opinion. My hope is that other domains in SAP take the actions to be and remain competitive.
