I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Arm in Jan 2012
Interview
Group assignment was good. I received good feedback but was not offered a job, despite them saying at the beginning that there would be jobs for anyone good enough no matter how many there were. Never told why I didn't receive an offer despite good performance.
Feedback incredibly sparse. Test scores and one or two generic sentences. Of course, I was dropped like a hot plate after the feedback email. My calls are dropped and my email go unanswered. Especially frustrating when all I now want is the £60 it cost me to get there, which they promised to cover.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Cambridge, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
CV screening -> Online Interview with behavioural and programming questions -> On sight interview. I found the programming part very easy, though some people on the sight claimed they couldn't do it. However the on sight process didn't go well. They didn't ask any technical questions. I was asked stuff like 'sometimes employees/people do harmful things on the system and then police comes to find out, should there be encryption?

Question 1
They didn't ask any technical questions on sight. I was asked stuff like 'sometimes employees/people do harmful things on the system and then police comes to find out, should there be an encryption mechanism compromising over security?

Question 1
Technical questions regarding programming languages, hypothetical business cases and procedural situations.
I applied through a job website (don't remember which) and after a few days they asked me to book a time for the phone interview. The interview was mostly technical, except a couple of standard questions (why you want to work for us etc.), and very difficult to an IT graduate or someone with experience in IT. They actually want you to be IT illiterate because the answers are what people who have no clue about IT would answer. When I tried to answer with technical solutions they always said "yes, but suppose you can't do that" or "suppose you don't have that". No matter how many right answers I gave them, they always wanted a specific answer. I got rejected within several days with the pretext that I could work on my answers to technical questions. If you have no idea about IT or you use your computer only as a user give it a shot, but if you have a bit of experience in IT I suggest you forget about all the things you know before the interview or try your luck with random answers.

Question 1
Most questions were ok, but the right answers were not for IT.
