I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Austin, TX) in Jul 2024
Interview
The interview process starting from HR introduction to the interview panel is conducted very professionally. The team is very receptive to availability of all parties and supports last minute changes which is very appreciated. The process starts with HR team screening and initial QnA to get a clear idea on the pre-requisite. The technical round started a bit later, and was extensively related to logic and approach to solving issues, However, the questions provided had multiple answers and it seems that some of the panel members could not fathom that the solutions they were expecting was in fact creating more issues.
Additionally, questions were specific to domain they are hiring and some of the terminologies are unfamiliar to most candidates and base lining the same is important.
