I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arm
Interview
First was a Hirevue interview when you have some prerecorded questions and you have to answer them. There were 2-3 related to why do you want to work at the company, 2 coding tasks, quite easy ones, and then a question related to them, like how you solved it and what would you do differently. Also some basic questions related to computer architecture like what is a CPU and what are the stages of pipelining.
Then a 2 hour interview with two senior engineers. Modeling how an assembly instruction is done step by step by the CPU on a whiteboard and one coding question to model cache hit in a direct mapped cache and how can you optimize that.Interviewers were very friendly and helpful.

Interview
Right after application, I received a confirmation email explaining the recruitment process.
Within two weeks after the application, I received a call from ARM asking to participate in a video interview on HireVue where you have 1 minute for the preparation and one attempt to answer pre-recorded questions one by one.
Since finishing the interview, haven't heard anything back.
By checking application status on ARM's website, the status changed from "In recruitment process" to "Not successful" after 6weeks.
I am highly dissatisfied by the way the recruitment team work as after finishing the HireVue interview, there was a message that ARM will contact me within 7 working days. That is the main reason why my experience was negative. Despite that, I still think it's a great company.
