Arm Placement

The document provides information about ARM's screening and interview process as well as tips for applying and interviewing. The screening test includes basic analog and digital electronics questions as well as some aptitude questions. This is followed by technical and HR interviews. The HR interview focused on areas of interest where the interviewee was able to discuss GPUs. Technical preparation on ARM architecture, digital design, and embedded systems is recommended. The tips suggest being prepared to discuss interests and up-to-date on industry trends. Questions should demonstrate interest in work rather than compensation. Strong technical understanding from internship work is important for converting an internship to a full-time offer.

Round: 

screening test
Experience: ARM conducts a fairly simple test for screening, based on basic analog and digital
electronics. Paper also contains a few tough aptitude questions. This is followed by a technical and a
HR interview.
Tips: I did brush up my basics which came in very handy. Probably your class notes are enough to
remind you of the basics. I did not prepare well for aptitude, which I suggest you as a must do. I
spent most time preparing for interview - ARM processor architecture( Hennessey Patterson, 4th
ARM edition- highly recommended), digital design and embedded systems. Some more preparation
regarding common questions asked in interviews can come in handy.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My interview ended up to be a discussion about my area of interest. We talked about
GPUs and their suitability in mobile market where I got to talk about what I like and know of. I just
have one suggestion, make sure the interviewer does not go out of your area of interest and comfort
zone! Also, prepare a few really good answerable questions in the field for interviewer which are
really important to get a good last impression.

General Tips: If you really like computer architecture, CPU/GPU or other processing system
designs then you would like this company. Make sure you are up-to date with current trends in the
industry, new processor releases etc which can showcase your interest during the interview.
Prepare on what to speak when you are asked "What do you like and Why?", as a confident answer
to this question can leave the interviewer impressed.
Questions must not be like- what will be my pay or will you offer to-fro airfare etc! Questions such as
what will I get to work on or about promotion policy of the company will make them think you are
really interested and you are there for work.

Skill Tips: I received a PPO from ARM after my internship. Based on your manager's opinion, you
will be invited for an interview for PPO during the last week of your internship. My interview was with
two senior managers from Architecture and Technology team. Interview difficulty level was very high,
as they exhaustively asked on various aspects of modern computer architecture and design. The
work done was critically reviewed and several questions about the work methodology were asked. I
think the most helpful part was, I made sure I understood the key ideas behind the work I was
assigned and explored more about them in free time.

College Name: NIT Surathkal

Interview
I applied through campus drive. There was an online test of 2.5 hours. 70 questions from technical and
30 from aptitude and data interpretation. Questions were from 8085, 8051 architecture, an assembly
program. C program based questions were focused on pointers, operator precedence, and recursion.
Memory related questions pretty basic and C++ questions of file handling and classes and objects. Basic
data structure related questions. Aptitude questions were easy but data interpretation questions were a
little lengthy. Don't answer the question if you don't know anything about that. Only answer if 50:50
chances to get the correct answer. Result declared after 3 days of the test and 10 students shortlisted
out of 70 approx. Out of 10 students interviewed, 1 got an offer for an internship.

Interview Questions
8086 - Assembly program based, 8051 - Assembly program, Memory - hierarchy, cache coherence,
C, Cpp - pointer, operator precedence, Digital electronics - gates, shift register, boolean equation
