SAP Ariba Consultant Engineer interview questions

Contacted by a consultancy person. Initially I was not interested because of the location (they should really consider to move). But since I was just starting my job hunt, I thought lets do it for practice :-).. But things changed, read along. Interviews were scheduled on a Saturday. 1) Tech round 1 - Some basic java questions, find second smallest number in an array, batch processing by using pre-Java5 packages (ie, no executors). 2) Tech round 2- Design question about some game, how to store data and maintain scalibility. 3) Tech round 3 - Design question, given a scenanio, design the workflow and the components, and again, scalibility. 4) Managerial - About current project and role. Next rounds were scheduled on next week 5) Round five (with MD) - Typical managerial questions 6) HR round I was not very keen on the offer because of the location, so I was prepared to decline it as soon as I receive it. I got if after couple of days. But man!!! I couldn't say no that offer due to the compensations and benefits and also the joining bonus. I ended up happily accepting it and looking forward to work there. But things changed again, read along.

There is a long series of simple interviews, mostly in JAVA/DB etc. There could be interview calls with US managers, which will be even simpler. They will try to say their team is great etc. (especially the platform team), but please do not fall for it. US managers have the final say in the interview.
