I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SAP (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Process: Two phone screens with the same recruiter, technical phone interview, onsite technical interview with two data scientists.
The first phone screen was quite nice as the recruiter was super polite and answered all of my questions. He also detailed the entire recruiting process for this rotational program. For the second phone screen, (with the same person) he became quite rude. It was clear that he did not want to continue the interview process and discounted my previous employers/work experiences (who are actually big clients of SAP, so I don't know where that behavior came from). It was clear that he wasn't looking for someone with the right skills, just with someone who had big tech names on their resume.
TL;DR If you're qualified enough to get this job, you can get a better one at a top company.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SAP
Interview
The recruiter called me and set the interview. I spent a lot of time to prepare for it, but then they cancelled it without a proper reason 15 minutes before the interview. Not really professional.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SAP (Prague)
Interview
In general the interview process was smooth and the recruiter Sylvie was very good and informative on all the steps of this process. I wouldn't say the same about the people that did the technical interview as it was more difficult to communicate with them and have a proper conversation.
