      Software Engineer/Design and Verification/Operating Systems Interview

      8 Dec 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Cambridge, England) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      Applied through the University programme UKESF. Took me about 2 weeks to get a response and another 2 weeks to actually get to the Interview. One round only and 3 different face-to-face Interviews which lasted 1h - 1.5h each. All of the interviews were during the same day so it lasted for some time. Overall was really satisfied with how each student is treated there just maybe some of the questions were a bit challenging as I was asked almost nothing from the courses that I was studying so apparently University studies did not help at all.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Some basic questions/tasks about C programming (pointers, arrays..), design task for receiving data bytes from the transmitter (C programming), Asked to explain different parts of some old SOC configuration. For people studying only Electronics I would suggest going through Software Engineering lectures from other courses to know about how memory is managed in a SOC and CPU. Ideally read about the Architecture of CPU and Microcontrollers as I was asked this in all 3 Interviews with ARM. I only studied Electronics and had no courses related to this except when we briefly looked into simple microcontrollers without going into detail so it was good decision going through Software Engineering course notes before the interview.
