I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Sheffield, England) in Oct 2022
Interview
I was interviewed for a verification role at Sheffield. It was a virtual interview. There were two rounds. The first round with the hiring manager (initial screening). The questions were mostly from my CV to check if I have really worked on some stuffs. After a few days the HR organized a second round of interview. The interview was pretty straightforward with two engineers. I managed to answer most of their questions but not sure of the reason for rejection. Maybe they were looking for a more experienced candidate.
