I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Bengaluru) in Aug 2020
Interview
Because of COVID-19 all the interview rounds were virtual. HR team was quick in sharing feedback and next steps at each round of interview. They have come up with this new onboarding website that keep track of all ToDo and one can request for information from onboarding team or hiring manager which seems pretty cool. Also, HR and engineering team keep in touch with you every few week. Overall good interview experience.
