Arm interview questions

The interview process is relaxing. Generally, it started with an online video interview with coding challenge. The coding challenge is easy and if you manage to finished it, there is a big chance for you to be selected for the assessment center. The interview was easy if you have some knowledge on computer system/HDL.

I applied for this position online on November 2016. On January 2017, I received a sort of rude response from the recruiter, saying the following: "Thank you for your application to ARM and the time you have taken to provide us with more detail about your background. I do have to say I am disappointed- this posting is a high level individual contributor with at least 7+ years of corporate, not including academic experience. I cannot tell you how much time it takes to review resumes in a role- how applying to roles that are not even a close match to your skills and experience- keeps us from moving the right folks forward in the right roles (this could be you one day). I do truly hope that you will take to heart- that if you focus your search and applications on the roles that you are qualified- you will have greater success and a lot of respect from your recruiting community that is here to support you." I checked the position and there is no mention of 7+ years work experience requirement. Furthermore, the skillset required for this position can be found in my resume through a simple text match. Hence the recruiter's claim that it is not even a close match is completely incorrect -- any qualified recruiter can figure this out. And even if there is no match, it does not warrant a response of how I wasted their time. In my 14 years of professional career, I have never received such an impolite unprofessional response whether I cleared the initial screening or not. Not only this leaves a bad name for ARM's recruitment process, it will keep me away from applying to future ARM positions. Looks like a there is a dire need of proper training of ARM's recruiters. On a different note, I was waiting for the decision of an onsite interview I had recently with ARM when I received this email, which gave me a bad vibe about ARM's working atmosphere. Saying no to that position became very easy based on this recruiter's email.
