The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Arm in Feb 2007
Interview
The interview is fairly straightforward technical one. I was interviews by three people one was the Engineering manager and the other two were high senior engineers. They asked me about my experiences so far and gone through every point I mentioned on my CV. Then I had a C++ small test and some hardware problems to solve. Then we spent another 30 mins discussing SoC design and hardware in detail.
