It went on for 45min. It was fairly easy. Focused on the basics of SV and UVM. It was directly with the hiring manager. They seemed open and genuinely a good interview experience
Negative experience
Average interview

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Arm (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
1 online interview followed by 4 rounds in person. This could have been fully online. After going there, they took zoom call even lunch was not provided in time. They did not help me escort or even enter. HR support was poor. When you invite a candidate you cannot take work from home on that day
