SAP Labs Interview Experience for Developer Associate | On-Campus 2021

Round 1: Online test

• Round one consisted of 2 coding questions and 15 multiple choice questions for which we have dedicated 90 mins.
• Write a program to find the sum of contiguous subarray within a one-dimensional array of numbers that has the largest sum.
• Given a 2D array of size m*n, find the largest element for each row. We had to return a vector of size m.
• The 15 MCQs were based on OOPS, DBMS, Data Structures, Computer Networks. The difficulty level of MCQs varied from easy to hard.

Tips: Don’t spend too much time on one MCQ question because time is limited. For coding questions, stay calm and finish at least one question with all test cases pass.

Round 2: Technical Round1

Time: 40mins.

• The interviewer started with his introduction and then mine.

• Then he asked about 2 DSA problems
• Based on LinkedList.( every standard problem from LinkedList).

• (I haven’t mentioned the exact question because there wasn’t an exact question. He was asking everything like delete elements from LinkedList, do this do that)
