I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Austin, TX) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview process was smooth and quick. Recruiter promptly scheduled interview and interview did not seem like interrogation. I wasn't selected for the position which I got to know via email within a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Explain SRAM working and Noise margins of it.
2. How does PVT variation affect SRAM access times and NM.
3.Concept of Setup time and Hold time. How to fix it in Si validation.
4.Leakage current of MOSFET. How does it scale with Length, Vth and Temperature. Techniques to reduce leakage current of MOSFET (Multi Vt, DVFS, Body biasing, Header/Footer switch, Clock gating)
5. Where to use Header and Footer switch? Does FinFet has body biasing phenomenon to reduce leakage like conventional FETs.
6.Any experience with EM simulation, memory compiler design and Digital verification/STA.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Arm (Austin, TX) in Aug 2019
Interview
I applied online. The talent accusation team mailed and scheduled interview. Got call from a different recruiter than the one scheduled. Had very bad accent difficult to understand. Test your cramming ability.
- RDV face to face at sophia antipolis
- 3 hours interview with different staff, senior, director, engineers
- All OK, we will call you in 2-3 weeks
--> they never callback --> lack of professinalism
--> I sent an email for the director who told me that the will call back and he did not reply to my email --> No respect, scandalous behaviour from a person who is suppoed to be responsible !
--> They asked me to pay for my transportation and hotel and they said that they will reimburse me after .... Now I am running after them to have my reimbursement back ! HR not reactive at all, they do not reply for email ...
When we hear about ARM, we think that they are BIG but after my experience, I realized that the behavior of its staff is so SMALL and irrespectful... I hate people who can not respect their word ...very negative experience

Question 1
-simple questions about SRAM, leakage, previous experience
