A telephonic round of around 1 hr was done in which basic Verification concepts and past work were judged with some scenario based questions and some related to the job profile.

Was shortlisted and called from F2F interview at ARM office.

The interview was as per schedule, all interviewers dug into their own areas and knew what they were looking for.

They were jotting down some responses from time to time.

The questions were quite appropriate and ranged from basic aptitude, pseudo code writing, simple concepts of processor architecture to Caching.

Some questions were on basic OS/software concepts.

The last technical interview sort of dived into verification planning, methodology, past work and difficulties faced, etc.

The interviewer gave a good idea of the job profile as well.

All went well given that I haven't been doing similar work in the past and seemed like I may get an offer, specially after the long HR round enquiring about salary and related stuff.

Unfortunately, got no call or even notification from them and I was not selected.

I had earlier requested HR to reschedule since I was travelling the previous day but the person didn't respond to my mails at all which isn't to be expected generally

Cache coherence, pipelining, pseudo code, and FSMs.
