I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Bengaluru) in Jun 2019
Interview
5 rounds, 3 Technical, 1 Hiring Manager , 1 HR
1st round is telephonic mostly on DSA, Java and puzzles
2nd round is onsite, DSA , design and puzzles
3rd round DSA, Design and more puzzles
4th round with Hiring Manager was BORING.
5th round with HR regarding salary discussions
Interview questions were pretty easy, interviewers were pretty experienced, friendly and answered all the questions
Most important round was with HR regarding salary discussion, and it turned out to be very DISAPPOINTING .
The hike was lower than what a below average company offers during appraisal (because I had my appraisal 2 months back in current company which doesn't make sense ).
I really wanted to work with ARM but because of the money offered and negative reviews on glassdoor, I had to decline the offer.
Hope they improve.
We are sorry to hear you declined the offer due to the financials not being right. Whilst we are fortunate to have a culture driven by varying motivations, not always financial, we tend to be very competitive with our overall comp.

Interview
Phone interview for a hardware architecture job went from bad to worse. The hiring manager did not have a clear distinction between software and hardware architecture and did not ask any question about how to implement software requirements into silicon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Only software related questions. The hiring manager did not ask any question about any aspects of processor architecture and design.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Arm
Interview
I applied on arm's careers website, I got an appointment for an interview 2 weeks later.
Based on Glassdoor reviews, I expected questions on my personnality and motivations, instead I got lots of technical questions about my skills.
Furthermore, ARM had told me that I would be interviewed by three people but I had only one interviewer, not even listed in the three announced.
