I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Hongkong) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview started with an explanation of the actual job they do in their group. After that I've been asked to talk about my master project and a lot of behavioural question came out after that. At the end the question moved to the devices scaling (mostly effect of scaling, no hints from the interviewer). On average it was a fair interview, and not getting an offer could be only my fault that I prepared too much on synthesis questions instead of physical devices.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arm (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2026
