      CPU Workload Analysis - Performance Design Engineer Interview

      May 17, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Austin, TX) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      Applied on ARM website in March 2015. Got call from recruiter in April 3rd week. Interview was scheduled on 30 April 2015 with Senior Architect. Interviewer was impatient. Always wanting to hurry up. He would not listen or wait till answer was completed. Didn't describe about team or job. Directly went to questions. Only one question regarding cache. Everything else was software related. 1. Work experience 2. Cache basics 3. Data Structure 4. String manipulation 5. Debugging C code - Profiling It lasted for 20 minutes. Very bad experience. No greetings. He lacked basic courtesy or etiquette of telephonic interview.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      How data is taken from main memory and put into cache?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What data structure has to be used to store large data in arrays and to retrieve it quickly?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      I have millions of lines of C code across hundreds of files. Its running slowly. How to debug it?

      Thank you for leaving a review on your interview experience, though I apologize that you did not have a positive one. We do hold training for hiring managers on how to proper interview etiquette, but it is up to interviewers to actually follow through with asking the right questions, and how they ask it. I will pass this feedback to our recruiting team, so they can get in touch with the hiring managers to improve the process. Again, apologies on your interview experience. -Rick C.
