      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Arm (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      The hiring process for the Tools and Licensing Automation team was a mix of a great initial round followed by severe HR mismanagement and a hostile face-to-face round. The first round was online with a UK-based senior manager and was highly professional, collaborative, and friendly. However, the coordination for the second round was completely unorganized. The recruiter lacked basic knowledge of the structure, missed deadlines, and failed to send meeting confirmations on time. On the day of the face-to-face interview at the Arm Bangalore office, the recruiter completely forgot the schedule, leaving me stranded at the venue and ignoring my calls until minutes before the start time. The face-to-face interview itself turned into an incredibly intimidating power trip. The senior male interviewer, Guru, began by undermining his female colleague, Priya (a Staff Engineer with 8 years of experience), introducing her as someone with just "3-4 years" of experience. When I attempted to calmly explain my 2.5 years of DevOps experience regarding Linux concepts, Guru refused to listen, grew visibly angry, began shouting at me, and flatly accused me of lying. He then launched into an insulting lecture about his "20 years of experience" and told me "not to try to fool them." It was entirely obvious within the first 15 minutes that he had already decided to reject me. Despite this, he dragged the meeting 30 minutes past the scheduled one-hour slot without my consent, entirely to subject me to further condescending cross-examination. I was completely silenced, routinely cut off, and Guru even continuously interrupted his own colleague, barely allowing her to speak. To no surprise, after subjecting me to this humiliating 1.5-hour ordeal, the company completely ghosted me with zero follow-up or feedback. Rejection is perfectly fine, but humiliation is not. Arm leadership needs to urgently audit the interview conduct of this team.
