I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at SAP (Newtown Square, PA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Interview with a recruiter and two assemsments online. If you make it past the recruiter there is an all day group interview scenario. I felt as if they were looking for a good fit for the company culture vs me needing to be an expert at that moment - which I enjoyed. Wait a few weeks then find out if you were selected. Not much negotiation on salary but compensated for work/education experience/history.

present on a buinsess case how to increase consumption/adoption
Applied in November and had a phone screen conversation. Recruiter was very transparent that the timeline would be a few months until the SAP bootcamp. During the phone screen she explained about the role and interview process.
Throughout the experience SAP held a Virtual Job Fair that was an incredible way to learn about the company and the Sales Academy. I highly recommend going as a network opportunity. After that, I didn’t hear from my recruiter for a few months. I genuinely didn’t know if I was still in the interview process and would check my SAP candidate profile weekly. I received an email in early February about the Bootcamp being at the end of the month.
SAP Bootcamp is a day where you do a case study about finding the best SAP product/solution for your client. The entire day was about working together on a team and what role you play for the team you are working on. It is meant to be fun! My advice would be to do some research ahead of time about customer success stories for different products and have some written down. Also, write down questions you may ask a client in a meeting to find out more about their company, business, goals and challenges.
