Interviewing at Arm

Congratulations on reaching the interview stage at Arm! Now, let’s ensure you shine brightly throughout the process. Here are your most common questions answered.


***

How many stages of interview are there? 

Typically, there are two stages of interviewing. The first stage involves an on-demand video interview through a platform called HireVue. In here, you will be able to record responses to a series of questions within a specified time limit. For non-technical questions, you will have the option to re-record your answer.  

The final-stage interview typically involves a virtual video interview and on occasion, may be held in-person. During this interview, you’ll connect with the Arm team to discuss your interests and skills. Expect a mix of behavioural and technical questions relevant to the role. It’s your chance to demonstrate how you align with our dynamic culture and innovative vision. 

The link to my on-demand video interview (HireVue) has expired. What should I do? 

Please contact our Talent Acquisition team at TA-admin@arm.com, and a team member will assist you in resolving this issue. 

Will I receive feedback if my application is unsuccessful? 

At Arm, we value every candidate who takes the time to apply. Regardless of the outcome, we will notify you of your application status. While we strive to provide feedback to all applicants, detailed feedback is typically reserved for those who reach the final interview stage due to the volume of applications. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to continue exploring opportunities with us.  

How do I request an accommodation for the interview process? 

At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email accommodations@arm.com.

What is Arm's stance on visa sponsorship in the UK?

Early Careers Programs

You are about to start one of our early careers programs and your journey at Arm will be nothing short of brilliant! What else should you know before starting?

***

Will I be able to meet other participants before the program starts? 

Yes, with your permission. After you sign your contract and complete onboarding, our Talent Acquisition team will facilitate connections among participants. This is usually done through company updates sent by email, a private LinkedIn group, and optional virtual pre-join calls. Participation in these activities is voluntary, and we will always seek your consent before connecting you with others in the program. 

Will I be offered a role after completing the Graduate Program? 

At Arm, we integrate Graduates as permanent team members from the beginning. Our Graduate Program spans two years, during which you will receive ongoing support, development opportunities, and engage in social activities. Upon completion of the program, you will roll-off as a skilled member of the team. 

Can I defer my entry if I have received an offer from Arm? 

Requests for deferral are considered on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Please discuss your situation with your Talent Acquisition contact for further assistance. You can reach us at TA-admin@arm.com.
