Arm interview questions

It was a Hirevue, standard video questions, some Leetcode easy ish coding questions and questions related to CPU architecture. Retakes are allowed but time was limited for the coding questions.

The interview process was overall professional and technically focused. I had a live coding session on a shared screen with two interviewers, where I typed the solutions directly on my laptop while they observed and asked follow-up questions. What They Asked: Most questions were in C and C++, covering low-level behavior and understanding of how the language works “under the hood.” Examples of the questions/topics I was asked: Code-reading questions such as: “What will happen when this function runs?” – focusing on pointers, references, and memory behavior. A conceptual C question: a function receiving a pointer to a double. The discussion centered on ownership, side-effects, and best practices. I explained that passing a raw pointer to a function can make ownership unclear — Overall Impression: The interviewers were friendly and focused on understanding how I think about code correctness, memory, and best practices in C/C++. The questions were fair, practical, and aligned with real embedded/system-level development challenges.
