ARM

Role: Full-Time Employment (FTE)

College: Not Specified (On-Campus recruitment for CE, CS, ENC branches)

Interview Date: 2024 (Online)

Interview Type: On-Campus

Result: Not Specified (Experience provided as a preparation guide, implying successful navigation of the process)

Difficulty: Not Specified

Rounds: 2 rounds (Online Assessment, Interview Round)

Topics Asked: Fundamental CS topics, Computer Architecture and Organization (CAO), C/C++ programming (memory management, pointers, low-level programming), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++ (inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation), Live Coding (reversing a string using pointers, bitmask operations), Microprocessors and Microcontrollers.

Experience:

ARM visited the college to recruit students for a Full-Time Employment (FTE) role, with a strong emphasis on C/C++ programming due to ARM's focus on low-level programming.

Online Assessment (OA): The online assessment covered Fundamental CS topics, Computer Architecture and Organization (CAO), and two coding problems that needed to be solved in C or C++. The OA results were announced on the same day.

Interview Round: The interview was based on the candidate's resume and covered a range of technical topics. Core concepts in C/C++ were asked, including memory management, pointers, and low-level programming. In-depth questions on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++ focused on inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. Live coding tasks included writing code for reversing a string using pointers and another task involving bitmask operations.

Preparation Tips: Focus on Computer Architecture and Organization (CAO), Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, and C/C++ programming, particularly low-level programming, memory management, and bitwise operations.
