Experience: ARM had come for recruiting 3rd Year ECE, EEE and CS branches in our college as a part of their internship program. 90 Minute test was conducted to short list the potential candidates for the interview call. The test consisted of 2 parts - Aptitude and Branch wise section. The Aptitude was allotted 30 minutes and rest for the other section.

After clearing the selection phase begun the internship duration for which I was eagerly waiting for...

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: screening test
Experience: ARM conducts a fairly simple test for screening, based on basic analog and digital electronics. Paper also contains a few tough aptitude questions. This is followed by a technical and a HR interview.
Tips: I did brush up my basics which came in very handy. Probably your class notes are enough to remind you of the basics. I did not prepare well for aptitude, which I suggest you as a must do. I spent most time preparing for interview - ARM processor architecture( Hennessey Patterson, 4th ARM edition- highly recommended), digital design and embedded systems. Some more preparation regarding common questions asked in interviews can come in handy.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My interview ended up to be a discussion about my area of interest. We talked about GPUs and their suitability in mobile market where I got to talk about what I like and know of. I just have one suggestion, make sure the interviewer does not go out of your area of interest and comfort zone! Also, prepare a few really good answerable questions in the field for interviewer which are really important to get a good last impression.

General Tips: If you really like computer architecture, CPU/GPU or other processing system designs then you would like this company. Make sure you are up-to date with current trends in the industry, new processor releases etc which can showcase your interest during the interview.
Prepare on what to speak when you are asked "What do you like and Why?", as a confident answer to this question can leave the interviewer impressed.
Questions must not be like- what will be my pay or will you offer to-fro airfare etc! Questions such as what will I get to work on or about promotion policy of the company will make them think you are really interested and you are there for work.
Skill Tips: I received a PPO from ARM after my internship. Based on your manager's opinion, you will be invited for an interview for PPO during the last week of your internship. My interview was with two senior managers from Architecture and Technology team. Interview difficulty level was very high, as they exhaustively asked on various aspects of modern computer architecture and design. The work done was critically reviewed and several questions about the work methodology were asked. I think the most helpful part was, I made sure I understood the key ideas behind the work I was assigned and explored more about them in free time.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: I basically enjoyed the written test as all the questions fell right under my understanding of semiconductors and it was a good day for Apti too.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I messed up a Nand gate full adder circuit to which the interviewer said 'caught you!' That really shook me.
Tips: He asked me the flaws with my project and when I finished, he started listing additional flaws. It’s ok if your design isn’t perfect, but you should know why it isn’t.

General Tips: Make a list of your projects and write down the ups and down of the designs you implemented in them. Go with an open mind and aim for optimal solutions if presented with a case study.
Skill Tips: Just be cool and think with a rational mind. Be critical of your own work and you will get through,also brush up your digital properly.
