Arm interview questions

I was first contacted by a talent acquisition manager from ARM, via LinkedIn. I had my first phone screen with him, to discuss overall career goals and motivations. After they decided to move forward with me, we scheduled a second phone screen with the engineering manager and another engineer on the team. The second phone screen was a mix of career motivation questions, behavioral questions, and basic technical questions. I passed this phone screen and we scheduled an on-site interview. The on-site interview included interviews with four different people: two engineering managers (one of whom would be the manager of the person taking this role), and two engineers who are part of the core modeling team. I also had lunch with the two engineers. All interviewers were very professional and courteous, and they answered all my questions. They were all very smart people, and I enjoyed speaking with everyone in my interview loop. In the end, I was not a good fit for the role, but I did have a very positive interview experience overall.

I applied online for this job and was contacted to do an on-demand online interview after 10 days. This first step was a short interview with around 7/8 questions about both technical and personal aspects. Second step of the hiring process was to take part to a selection day in Cambridge at ARM which consists of several tasks to test you individual and group skills and a technical interview which lasts about 1 hour. To be honest the on demand was bit harder for me because I felt more pressure when answering the questions. I think it's a psychological thing due to the counting down timer that you see while recording your answers. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the whole day at ARM for the selection day. Every single person was very kind and ready to answer all of your questions. I didn't feel any pressure at all while doing the technical interview, time just flew, it was like talking with a friend.
