I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Arm (Sheffield, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
Two stages interview process: first stage was online video recording interview; second stage was face to face interview. Then, a long wait for the decision, during which period, information related to myself was periodically asked by the recruiters (my circumstances are indeed more complicated than others). After the offer was issued, I had two weeks to decide whether to accept or not. During the whole process, stuffs at ARM were all very nice and friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The online interview asked some general questions related to the job requirements listed in the advertisement (e.g how you would rate yourself about the familiarity of Linux working environment?). Coding test was also involved in this stage. The second stage asked many more detailed technical questions (e.g a CMOS circuit diagram was given and I was asked to derive the function of the diagram with detailed explanation of each step).
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arm (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2026

CV and then virtual interview then final interview through online call. It was basic interview about CV and some technical questions. It was not too difficult and intimidating. Technical interview depends on the role you apply for.
