I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Arm (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
The process took more than 3 months in total - longer if you count the 4-6 weeks of delay before they responded to my initial application. The process relied heavily on automated online assessments which usually didn't come with good enough documentation to get them right first time, e.g. no email address given to return the completed test to or incorrect instructions about saving a task to return to it later. I found this somewhat ironic given the role I was interviewing for.
It is also difficult if not impossible to actually speak to the recruitment team, which is not a positive when the automated portions of the process do not go according to plan!
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Arm
Interview
It was an on-campus placement opportunity. First, the Resume was scrutinized. The shortlisting of candidates was based on the resume. It was a two-stage interview process. The first stage interview process consists of programming and general aptitude questions. The second stage interview mainly focused on technical skills. The interviewers were friendly and understanding.

Two rounds of interviews - one with hiring manager and one with the hiring manager and the Director of FP&A
The first round was competency based - more like a chat of your previous experience etc
Second round was based on a financial modelling, they sent you the file beforehand and ask you to be prepared for it, then they spent 40min asking you questions around the modelling to see how good you are with financial modelling
