Arm interview questions

Contact via recruiter. They sent a coding assignment that consisted on developing an encoder in VHDL. I developed during a weekend a very well documented code, with self testing test bench, ideas on how to improve and limitations. I personally think it was a very good piece of work, almost ready to be used in production code. Then went to a Skype interview with kind of lame questions that assessed only logic thinking but I did not performed very well because I was nervous. They didn't seemed to have looked at the code I sent, which provides a deeper insight of my development skills. I strongly suspect they had already made their mind before the interview.

Registered and applied directly on ARM's careers portal, and was shortlisted for a telephone interview by the hiring manager. The interview was conducted by the hiring manager and a staff software engineer, and lasted about 1-hour. There was a discussion about the role itself and about my career history and ambitions, followed by some straight forward technical questions which I flunked because I was simply having a bad memory day after preparing hard for the interview. The interview was conducted in a polite, fair and friendly manner. The result of this experience was that I am now even more convinced that ARM is a place where I would very much like to work.
