Arm interview questions

I applied on their website and a recruiter reached out to me. The first round was with two engineers where there were questions about my experience and some basic questions about operating systems and C++. The second interview was with two people. One of them was specifically interested in some aspects of my resume and asked me detailed questions about it. This was followed by a series of 15 C trick questions. Reminded me of a time when I took these tests in college. I do not understand why it was necessary to understand what the outputs of a bunch of pre-increments and post- increments would look like. It felt like my experience was not valued enough and the bar was the same for an entry-level engineer over an experienced engineer. After finishing this section of random questions, I was asked a hard leetcode question. The question itself was not hard per-se but when there are two people watch you code up the solution and struggling to change the code to pass every use-case, I froze up. The next day I was able to do the question in less than 25 minutes and get all the test cases to pass in leetcode. I was expecting a rejection and I got it just a day after the interview.

The first round was phone interview that lasted for 10min, where the conversation was around skills, pay range and job location. The second round was zoom call with the team for 1 hour, where they briefed about the role, went through my resume and technical questions.
